珍珠港事件之前的日美关系——基于日本对华战争全面爆发后的利益分析

The Japan and US Relationship Before Pearl Harbor Incident

1937年日本侵华战争全面爆发以后,建立"大东亚共荣圈"的亚太目标已经确立并开始实施,美国被迫改变孤立主义和"先欧后亚"的外交政策,对日本采取以经济制裁为主的措施,意图遏制日本的扩张,使日美之间的矛盾趋于激化。东条上台组阁,日美之间谈判的破裂以及军事准备的完成,加速了战争的到来。因此,日本对于美国经济制裁的武力抗拒是日美开战的基本原因。

After the widespread outbreak of the Japanese aggressive war into China in 1937,Japan has established the goal of building the Greater East Asia Co- prosperity Sphere and put it into practice. America was forced to change its diplomatic policy of isolationism and＂Europe first and Asia second＂and took the economic sanctions on Japan to curb Japan’s expansion,which intensified the Japan- America contradiction. After Hideki Tojo’s setting up of the Cabinet,the breakdown of the Japan- America negotiation and the accomplishment of the military preparation sped up the war. Therefore,Japan’s resistance against America economic sanctions is the basic cause of the outburst of the Japan- America war.
