美国塔夫脱政府对奥斯曼帝国的“金元外交”政策

An Analysis of the Taft Administration’s “Dollar Diplomacy” Policy Towards the Ottoman Empire

在热衷“金元外交”理念的塔夫脱政府时期,美国向奥斯曼帝国进行了不成功地推动“金元外交”的尝试。传统美奥关系不密切,双方贸易较少。青年土耳其党革命后,在奥斯曼进一步改革发展及帝国对美国印象较好等有利条件下,美国开启对奥的“金元外交”,推动“切斯特计划”和船舶建造等投资活动。但是,奥斯曼帝国外为列强所控制,内力争自身经济权益且政局动荡,加之投资公司缺乏耐心、经验不足,美国政府举措亦有失当,最终美国推动的投资项目遭到失败。

During the Taft administration,which was enthusiastic about the concept of “Dollar Diplomacy”,the United States made unsuccessful attempts to promote this policy towards the Ottoman Empire.The traditional relationship between the United States and the Ottoman Empire was not close,and there was limited trade between the two sides.After the Young Turk revolution,with the Ottoman Empire's further reform and development,as well as the empire's favorable impression of the United States,the United States initiated “Dollar Diplomacy” towards the Ottoman Empire,promoting investment activities such as the “Chester Project” and shipbuilding.However,the Ottoman Empire was under the control of foreign powers,and faced internal struggles for its economic interests,coupled with political turmoil.Additionally,the investment companies lacked patience and experience,and the U.S.government's measures were also ill-advised.As a result,the investment projects promoted by the United States ultimately failed.
