欧洲战争期间的美国外交（1792—1814）

American Diplomacy During the European War （1792-1814）

欧洲战争（1792—1814）是对年轻的美国的严峻考验，美国作出了明智的外交选择——奉行中立政策。1794年的英美条约（杰伊条约），1795年的西美条约（平克尼条约）、1800年的法美协定（莫特枫丹协定）与1803年的路易斯安那购买是欧洲战争第一阶段美国中立外交的丰硕成果。当欧洲争霸斗争进入新阶段时，美国被陷入困境。为了维护民族独立，美国对英宣战，直至1814年签订根特和约。“欧洲战争，美国得利”是对欧洲战争期间美国外交概括的评价。

The European War （1792-1814） was an ordeal to the young U. S. The U.S. government made a wise decision--pursuit of a noutral policy w.hich was exactly expressed in Whashingtonts Farewell Address. Jay＇s treaty of 1794, Pinckneyts treaty of 1795, the Mortefontaine treaty of 1800, and the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 were great successes of American diplomacy in the first period of the War. When the struggle for hegemony in Europe stepped into a new period, the U.S. was beset with troubles. The U.S. waged war upon England. The Ghent treaty was concluded in 1814. In a word, ＂European War, American advantage＂ was a general evaluation. Indeed, this was a victory of the American neutral policy.
