1946年对昂山谋杀的指控与英国对缅政策的调整

Readjustment of British Policy towards Burma:Murder Charge against Aung San in 1946

二战后,英国工党内阁颠覆了原保守党内阁制定的对缅政策,其中的一个诱因是1946年对昂山谋杀的指控。1946年,英属缅甸总督多尔曼-史密斯为压制昂山领导的反法西斯人民自由同盟,试图以谋杀罪逮捕昂山,未料英军驻东南亚部队和工党内阁从缅甸和印度的形势来考虑,与多尔曼-史密斯的意见相左。工党内阁在权衡利弊时,日益察觉到缅甸的军事、政治危机和多尔曼-史密斯总督的鲁莽,最终决定更换缅甸总督,并以此为契机,调整英国的对缅政策。1946年英国殖民当局对昂山的谋杀指控,原本是要打压缅甸的民族主义力量,但客观上却加快了英国对缅政策的调整。

After the Second World War,the British Labour Cabinet overthrew the Conservative Cabinet's policy toward Burma in less than two years,and one of the reasons leading to it was a murder charge against Aung San. In early 1946,in order to undercut Aung San's political influence,Governor Dorman- Smith accused Aung San of murdering a village headman during the Second World War,but the British Labour Government had other opinion. While considering possible repercussions of arresting Aung San for both Burma and India,the British government noticed military and political crisis in Burma and the incompetence of Governor Dorman- Smith,which finally led to the replacement of the Governor of Burma,and the adjustment of British policy towards Burma. British colonial authority 0riginally designed to suppress Burmese nationalist power by murder charge against Aung San,unexpectedly accelerated the changeover of postwar British policy towards Burma.
