英文档案所见“西藏友好代表团”史实新考——兼论二战结束前后英印政府的对藏策略

A New Examination of the “Tibetan Goodwill Mission” from the Perspective of the British Archives——a Case of the British-Indian Government’s Strategy of Tibet Before and After the End of World War Ⅱ

阻挠'西藏友好代表团'出席国民大会的挫败,是二战结束前后英印政府在西藏问题上政治影响力逐渐式微的信号。尽管战后英属印度政府极力怂恿和鼓动'西藏独立',但是'西藏友好代表团'事件说明英印政府内部在对藏策略上分歧重重,已日渐失去左右西藏问题的实力。整个事件背后则是二战结束前后国际格局发生巨大变动,以及中、英、印及其与西藏地方噶厦政府之间关系微妙变化的缩影。

Before and after the end of World War Ⅱ, the frustrating of the British-Indian Government tried to prevent the Tibetan Goodwill Mission from attending the National Constitutional Congress was a sign of less influence on Tibetan issues. Even if the British-Indian government encouraged the 'Independence of Tibet', the inside contradictions between the British Government and British-Indian Government about the strategy to Tibet is also certificated that they had lost the power to control Tibet. This incident is an epitome of the change of the international relation among China, British, India and Tibet.
