试论第三次日英同盟

A Tentative View of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1911

1911年续订的第三次日英同盟,起因于英国竭力想要避免因同盟义务而卷入可能发生的日美战争,而日本出于避免在国际上被孤立、制衡俄国、平衡英美关系、继续侵略中国等考虑,也接受了这个没有军事协议的军事同盟。

1911 saw the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. Britain wanted to renew the alliance in an effort to eschew its obligation and involvement in a possible Japan-US war,while Japan ＇s nodding this military alliance without any military agreement stemmed from multiple considerations： avoiding its own isolation from the international community,balancing against Russia,rescheduling Anglo-American relations, and continuing its invasion into China.
