《英属印度与西藏》摘译(三)

Selected Translation of British India and Tibet 1766-1910

本文通过大量英文原始档案史料,叙述英印控制锡金的过程,先是取得大吉岭,作为扩张的出发点,派驻该地的英印官员强行北上进入西藏又干预锡金内部的政治派别斗争皆未得手后,终于用武力战胜锡金,强立和约,迫使反英的王室大臣一派失势,全国向英印等西方国家开放。不丹与锡金本来都是西藏的附庸,抵抗英印侵略坚决有力,但英印以战争与收买并用的手段,也迫使不丹就范。文中将中国与西藏并举的提法等等不代表译者和本刊的观点,请读者明辨。

of the whole process that how British controlled Sikkim. UK also forced Bhutan to obey in the way of threateningand tempting. The translator and this journal did not agree with the wrong opinions such as treating China and Ti-bet as an equal and readers' discretion is needed.
