近代中英猛卯三角永租地争端

Sino-Anglo conflict over Namwan Triangle in early modern times

猛卯三角永租地是近代中缅之间显著的领土争端。清末,英缅强租滇边猛卯三角地,以每年1000卢比的费用作为猛卯土司属地损失的赔偿。20世纪20年代,为追究中国政府在流寓滇边的缅甸王子莽哒喇·疆括"军事入侵"中的责任,英缅一度停止支付猛卯三角永租地的租金,导致20世纪20年代中英之间近10年的外交纠纷。猛卯三角地在1942年与缅甸一起沦陷于日军,1945年为中国远征军驻印军光复,当地居民曾一度成立自治公所,希望按照"大西洋宪章"进行全民公决,回归中国,但未能解除与英缅的永租关系。

Namwan Triangle led to a serious territorial conflict between China and Myanmar in early modem times. At the end of the Qing dynasty, Myanmar compelled China to permanently release Namwan Triangle, annually paying R. S 1,000 as compensation for the loss of Mongmao Sawbwa＇ territory. In the 1920s, Myanmar stopped paying the rent in order to force the Chinese government to take the responsibility for its support of the raid by the Myanmarian prince Saw Yan Baing in exile in Yunnan, which caused the Sino - Anglo diplomatic dispute lasting for a decade. Namwan Triangle, occupied by the Japanese army in 1942, was recovered by the Chinese Ex- peditionary Force in 1945. The local residents once established the autonomic institute, hoping to hold a referendum according to the Atlantic Charter to get it recovered to China, but couldn＇t terminate the permanent lease with Myanmar.
