19世纪末英国所一直坚持的“光辉孤立”政策受到挑战,尤其在远东问题上,英俄矛盾不断加深,迫使英国适时调整外交政策。在欧洲寻找盟友无果后,英国最终选择和日本走到了一起,这在当时看来既是英国外交战略的巨大调整,也是日本崛起的重要契机。在英日同盟的背后有诸多原因导致其形成,而最后又不可避免的促使其解体。 At the end of the 19th century, the “glorious isolation” policy that Britain always upheld was challenged. In particular, on the Far East, the growing tension between Britain and Russia has forced Britain to adjust its foreign policy in due course. After finding no allies in Europe, the final choice of Britain and Japan came together, which at the time seemed both a huge adjustment of the British diplomatic strategy and an important turning point for Japan’s rise. Behind the Anglo-Japanese alliance, many causes led to its formation, and in the end it inevitably led to its dissolution.
