两次大战之间英国海军重拾“两强标准”探析

On the British Royal Navy Recovering Two Power Standard Between the two World Wars

第一次世界大战后,英国放弃了传统的海军"两强标准"。随着20世纪30年代国际形势的不断恶化,英国海军部多次建议内阁实行新的"两强标准",但出于国内经济、政治及外交等方面的考虑,内阁只通过了"DRC标准",新"两强标准"问题久拖未决,终因第二次世界大战爆发而不了了之。重拾传统"两强标准"的失败表明,英国的霸权时代已一去难返。

After the First World War, the Great Britain abandoned the traditional Two Power Standard of Royal Navy. In 1930s, the Admiralty frequently recommended the Cabinet to recover the Two Power Standard, but owing to considerations of politics, economy, and diplomacy etc., the Cabinet only approved the DRC Standard. Ultimately, the problem of Two Power Standard had no result because of outbreak of the Second World War.
