O The U.S. had agreed to support Japan in any war with European nations.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Japanese victory could limit American access to Chinese markets.

Theodore Roosevelt was concerned that a Japanese victory in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) could lead to Japan becoming a dominant power in East Asia, potentially limiting American influence and access to markets in China.
