The false statement is: "the United States reopened immigration to the Japanese as a result of the display."
Explanation: The Great White Fleet helped improve U.S.–Japan relations (e.g., Root–Takahira Agreement) but did not lead to reopening immigration. U.S. immigration remained restricted (the Gentlemen’s Agreement of 1907 limited Japanese immigration, and later laws like the 1924 Immigration Act further barred Asian immigration).
