Also described as the Yap Cable Crisis, the Yap Controversy and the Yap Island Controversy.
Diplomatic tensions between the United States and Japan concerning the control of the Island of Yap after World War I. This controversy was a significant issue during the negotiations of the Treaty of Versailles, as both nations recognized the strategic importance of Yap in the Pacific, particularly for its potential as a telecommunication hub.
