英日同盟的建立与英国传统的外交政策

The Establishment of Anglo-Japan Alliance and Britain's Traditional Foreign Policy

19世纪末 ,英国为维护自己在远东的利益 ,找寻订立反俄军事政治同盟的伙伴。初以德国为对象 ,未遂。后与日本谈判成功 ,于 190 2年订立英日同盟。这一同盟并未背离英国传统的孤立主义外交政策 ,既继续保持了英国在欧洲大陆的“孤立” ,又使英国仅承担十分有限的军事义务 ,便利用日本 ,有力地遏制了俄国在远东的扩张 。

In the end of the 19 th century,Britain sought to establish an anti-Russian military and political alliance for keeping its interests in the Far-East.Britain first failed to reach an agreement with Germany,then returned to Japan and signed a treaty in 1902.This alliance hadn't deviated from Britain's traditional foreign policy of isolationism,which not only continued preserving Britain's 'isolation' in European continent,but also made Britain to share very limited military duty,to use Japan to forcefully stop the Russian further expansion in the Far-East,thus safeguarding the interests of British empire.
