试析英国保守党政府的非殖民化政策(1951-1956年)

On the Decolonization Policy of British Conservative Government（1951~1956）

1951-1956年英国保守党政府试图弥合衰减的国力和帝国雄心之间的鸿沟,故而采取坚守与撤退并举侧重坚守的政策。坚守政策导致苏伊士运河战争,带来英国在中东影响力的急剧衰退;撤退政策提速了加纳独立,部分保留英国在撒哈拉以南非洲的影响力。其教训影响着后任保守党政府的政策。

Between1951-1956,the British Conservative government tried to bridge the gap between of the decay in British strength and the Empire＇s ambitions,and therefore adopted the policy of holding on and retreating and holding on first.The policy of holding on led to the Suez Canal War,bringing the British influence in the Middle East into a sharp recession,and the retreating policy accelerated the independence of Garner,but retained part of Britain＇s influence in subSaharan Africa.This lesson has affected the policies of following Conservative governments.
