英美在朝鲜战争问题上分歧与合作的原因

On the Causes of Disagreement and Cooperation between UK and the USA in the Korean War

朝鲜战争爆发后,英国支持美国的在朝鲜行动并派兵参战。但因两国在朝鲜战争中有不同的目的和利益诉求,分歧的产生也就不可避免。另一方面,鉴于对付共同敌人的目的以及英国所具有的"唯一可以依赖的真正盟友"的地位,美国有时也对英国让步;作为英国来讲,其外交的重点和核心是维护和加强与美国的"特殊关系",所以也需要对美国妥协。朝鲜战争中英美的分歧与协调,从一个侧面反映了英美关系的复杂性与非对称性。

After the Korean War broke out,UK supports the USA and sends its troop to fight in Korea.However,since the two entities have their own purposes and beneficial requests,disagreement to each other is unavoidable to occur.On the other hand,because of being allies,they face and fight the same enemies and have to depend on each other.Sometimes the USA has to make concessions.To the UK,the core of foreign exchange is to maintain and strengthen the 'special relationship' with the USA;therefore they also need to make some concession as well.The Disagreement and Cooperation between UK and the USA in the Korean War reflects the complication and the asymmetry from one certain aspect.
