1937年12月12日,即侵华日军攻占南京之际,搭载本国侨民撤离的美国军舰“帕奈号”被日军飞机击沉。虽然表面上看这一事件由于日本的迅速“道歉”和美国的克制而平息,但实质上这一事件不仅对美国摆脱孤立主义羁绊和日本“南进”战略的确立,均产生了重要影响,从而使日美关系愈发紧张和恶化,而且对太平洋战争的最终爆发,具有不可忽略的“催化”作用。
On December 12, 1937, when Japanese troops invaded Nanjing to capture Nanjing, the U.S. warship “Panay No.” evacuated by its nationals was sunk by Japanese military aircraft. Although ostensibly this incident was quelled by the rapid “apology” of Japan and the restraint of the United States, the incident essentially resulted not only in the United States escaping the isolationist quarantine and the establishment of Japan’s “southward” strategy, So that the relations between Japan and the United States will become increasingly tense and deteriorating. Moreover, it will have a “catalytic role” that can not be ignored in the eventual collapse of the Pacific War.
