论澳大利亚参与朝鲜战争的原因

On the Reasons of Australia's Engagement in the Korean War

从外交演进的轨迹来看,澳大利亚参与朝鲜战争是谋求在地区乃至国际性事务中发挥积极建设性作用,并树立英联邦国家的自主外交形象。广义地分析,澳大利亚参加朝鲜战争是西方资本主义阵营对社会主义阵营采取的敌对行动。从狭义的角度来理解,澳大利亚参与朝鲜战争是为了消弥澳大利亚与美国之间的分歧,密切与美关系,其最终目的就是为建立澳美同盟创造条件。

Seen from the process of diplomatic development, Australia's engagement in the Korean War was out of the desire to play an active and constructive role in regional and international affairs. As a member of the British Commonwealth, Australia also wanted to build up an image of independent diplomacy. In a broad sense, Australia's engagement in the Korean War was a step of hostile acts that the western capitalistic bloc versus the socialistic bloc. In a narrow sense, Australia hoped to put an end to the differences between the United States and itself, and to establish close relationship with the United States in order to set up Australia-America alliance eventually.
