中英关系视阈下的西藏危机

Tibet Crisis under the Sino-British Relations

在第二次世界大战期间,国民政府曾要用兵西藏,引发重庆与拉萨间的危机。这次危机引起了盟国内部的矛盾,主要是中英之间的矛盾。在这次危机中,国民政府以政权安危为第一要务,在处理棘手的西藏问题上采取了现实主义的立场。而英国政府则在是支持国民政府,还是支持西藏亲英派,即是否要改变自己对西藏的一贯政策间摇摆。最终,在美国的调解下,英国不得不为击败轴心国这一首要战略目标调整政策。

During World War Ⅱ , Chinese national government attempted to resort to force in Tibet, which resulted in the crisis between Chongqing and Tibet and the conflict between the Allies, especially the one between China and Britain. In this crisis, Chinese national government gave top priority to the state safety and coped with the Tibet crisis in a realistic way. The British government hesitated about either supporting the Chinese national government or Tibetan Anglophile. In order to defeat the Axis, mediated by the U. S. , Britain had to adjust its policy for the primary strategic target.
