甲午战争与近代东亚国际关系体系

The Sino-Japanese War and Modern East Asia International Relation System

甲午战争改变了东亚国际关系和政治格局。中日甲午战争结束后,日本一方面同西方列强的强国英国和德国结盟,形成在东亚乃至在亚洲地区瓜分亚洲的同盟关系,一方面又通过战争手段攫取了台湾、朝鲜,进而通过战争和武力手段建立了"大东亚共荣圈",取得了在东亚乃至在亚洲的政治外交主导权和发言权,成为甲午战后主导东亚国际关系秩序的"盟主"。

The Sino-Japanese war changed the East Asia international relations and political structure. After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan, on one hand, with the alignment with western powers like UK and Germany, formed a craving up alliance in East Asia or even the entire Asia; on the other hand, Japan seized Taiwan and Korea and then created the “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” by wars and violent means. Thus Japan grabbed the political and diplomatic upper hand and discourse power in Asia, as a result of which Japan established its leading position in the East Asia international relations after the Sino-Japanese War.
