荣耀与挫折:一战后日本外交转型问题的几点思考

Glory and Frustration:Some Thoughts on Japan's Diplomatic Transition after World War Ⅰ

一战后的日本在巴黎和会上实现了明治维新以来与欧美列强比肩的最高国家外交诉求,日本的国际地位与声望达到了巅峰。随着国际社会对日本迅速崛起采取了一定的限制措施,此前日本对西方各国采取追随的、低姿态、以亲英美为主基调的"协调外交"政策逐渐让位给军部主导的"强硬外交"政策,日本外交逐渐走向摆脱凡尔赛-华盛顿体系、与美英完全对立的道路。日本国内政党政治的不成熟使军部势力进一步坐大,亦最终使日本成为亚洲的战争策源地。

After World War Ⅰ,Japan achieved the highest diplomatic demands of the European and American powers since the Meiji restoration in Paris Peace Conference,and its international status and prestige reached the peak.With the restrictive measures taken by the international community on Japan’s rapid rise,Japan’s "coordinated diplomacy"policy,which followed the western countries with a low attitude and was mainly pro-British and American,gradually gave way to the "tough diplomacy"policy led by the military ministry,and Japan’s diplomacy gradually moved away from VersaillesWashington system,completed opposed to the United States and Britain.The immaturity of domestic party politics in Japan led to the expansion of the military forces,which eventually made Japan the source of war in Asia.
