“九·一八”事变后美国政府的外交选择

The Diplomatic Option of American Government after the September 18th Incident

“九·一八”事变后,国民政府把解决东北问题的全部希望寄予国联与美国。然而美国政府在事变初期的静观政策助长了关东军的侵略野心,后者不断扩大战事。锦州危局后,美国政府采取了两面外交,试图在不卷入中日战争的前提下,与国联合作迫使日本撤军,但却无果而终。最后,美国政府出台了史汀生“不承认主义”,却又遭到日本的无视,成为一纸废文。而美国政府并未采取任何强有力措施以制裁日本。事实上美国政府在中日问题上首先考虑自身利益,其貌似“公正”的外交政策只是出于道义上的考虑,于事无补。
