The Three Weaknesses of Northern Warlords Government of China in Paris Peace Conference

巴黎和会在中国近现代史上具有十分重要的意义。近年来,学术界关于巴黎和会的研究呈现出一个明显倾向,更多地注重对出席巴黎和会的中国代表团的研究,充分肯定代表团的积极作用,而对北洋政府的评价褒贬不一,基本上以贬为主。文章通过对相关档案和史实的分析,认为,除了积贫积弱的国情、军事力量薄弱和国际地位较低等现实问题外,在巴黎和会上收回山东主权,北洋政府还存在三大“软肋”,这些客观存在的外部因素制约了北洋政府外交。

In the History of Modem Chinese, Paris Peace Conference is a remarkable historic envent, in which an increasing number of researchers have recently shown their interest. The researches made are mainly about the positive role of China delegation and the negetive role of the Northern Warlords Government of China. Based on the relevant materials, the writer attempts to conclude that there are three weaknesses that restrict the diplomatic measures adopted by the Northern Warlords Government of China, especially on the issue of Shandong.
