近代美国驻大连领事馆(1903—1941)大事记

The Chronicle of Events of Modern American Consulate in Dalian (1903—1941)

近代美国驻大连领事馆于1903年开馆,1941年珍珠港事件后闭馆;1946年复馆至1949年撤馆。对1903—1941年间美驻连领馆主要活动的钩沉,有助于透视近代美国东北亚外交政策和行为、更加全面地洞悉帝国主义的本质,从而为多角度深入研究近代国际关系的历史演变提供了填补空白式的一手素材,对大连地方史考证同样具有极高的参考价值。

Opened in 1903,modern American Consulate in Dalian was forced to close in 1941 after the Pearl Harbor Incident.In 1946,it was reopened and closed in 1949.The major events of the Consulate took place between 1903 and 1941 can serve as an insight observation of American foreign policy and behavior in the Far East and an all-sided comprehension of the nature of imperialism.It will surely furnish us with valuable first-hand materials to study from more perspectives on the historical evolution of the international relations in modern world.As far as the textual research on the local history of Dalian is concerned,it is of great significance by the same token.
