浅析20世纪初美国与日本东北之争失利的原因

Primary analysis of the setback suffered by America in its competition against Japan around the north east China in the early 20th century

1904～1905年的日俄战争之后,美国和日本成为争夺中国东北的主角,双方在各个方面都进行了角逐。在这场竞争中,美国不敌日本而败下阵来。美国的失利是其对自身远东实力不足的主动选择,是这一时期美国在东北的经济和战略利益没有重要到必须与日本兵戈相见地步的结果,也包含着政治家个人的考虑和对美国不利的外部环境的作用。

After Japan-Russia War between 1904 and 1905, America and Japan became the protagonists competing for the north east China. They had competed against each other in every side. In such a competition, America suffered a great setback as a result. However, America's setback is its active choice in view of its insufficient power in the Far East Asia. This result might be also attributed to the fact that the economic and strategic interests in the north east China for America did not become so important that it had to operate enough military power against Japan there. At the same time, this setback had reflected some politicians' personal consideration and the recognition of an unbeneficial external environment faced by America.
