英国对日媾和政策形成史论

Evolution of Britain's peace-making policy towards Japan

盟国对日媾和是战后国际关系中的重大事件。在遏制苏联这一点上 ,英国与美国是一致的 ,所以英国对日媾和政策在某些方面追随美国 ,但是在某些方面又与美国相悖 ,在集团利益内仍有不同的国家利益。夸大或无视英国在《旧金山对日和约》形成中的作用是不可取的 。

After World War II, an important issue concerning the international relationship was the peace-making between the Allied countries and Japan. Britain shared the same view with the U. S. towards constraining Soviet. Hence, it formulated its policy towards Japan following the U.S. model. However, there were different national interests in one bloc. In consideration of its own interest, Britain also had its own plans which differed from that of the U. S. It was not proper to exaggerate or depreciate the role of Britain in the formation of the 'peace treaty with Japan'. Britain's accessory status should be impartially evaluated.
