二战后美巴关系与巴西出兵朝鲜问题

U.S-Brazil Relationship after WWII and the Issue of Brazil’s Sending Troops to Korea

冷战初期,美国政府外交战略的重心转移到了亚洲和西欧地区,大幅削减了对拉美地区的经济援助,这引起了巴西政府的极大不满。1950年朝鲜战争的爆发迫使美国重新审视与巴西之间的关系,美国利用各种手段试图促成巴西出兵朝鲜。然而,经过长期的谈判,巴西最终未能按照美国的意愿出兵朝鲜,双方谈判的失败宣示着美巴同盟关系的瓦解。从美巴关系的发展变化轨迹来看,二战后到朝鲜战争结束的这8年无疑是美巴关系的重要转折点,对美巴关系产生了深远的影响。

At the beginning of the Cold War, the US government shifted its strategic focus to Asia and Western Europe and sharply cut economic aid to Latin America, which caused great dissatisfaction of Brazil. The outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 forced the United States to re-examine its relationship with Brazil and to get the Brazilian government by all means to send troops to the Korean Peninsula. However, after a long negotiation, Brazil finally refused to send troops to North Korea and went against the will of the United States. The failure of the negotiation indicates the disintegration of the "alliance" between the United States and Brazil. According to the development and changes of the relationship, the eight-year period from the WWII to the end of the Korean War was undoubtedly a turning point in the history of US-Brazil relationship which had a profound impact on the later relationship between the two countries.
