1894年是甲午中日战争爆发的前十年,清王朝派往朝鲜的最高代表袁世凯在朝鲜的一系列政策和活动,对中日朝关系产生了许多重要的影响,成为战争爆发必然性中的一个偶然促因。本文拟就从当时的宏大时代背景出发,分析袁世凯请求清政府出兵朝鲜的合理性,探讨袁世凯在甲午中日战争爆发中所起的个人和国家的悲剧性作用。 In the first decade of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894, a series of policies and activities in the DPRK by Yuan Shih-kai, the supreme representative of the Qing Dynasty to North Korea, had many important influences on the relations between China, Japan and the DPRK, and they were occasionally taken as a cause of the outbreak of the war Promote This article intends to proceed from the grand background of that time to analyze the rationality of Yuan Shih-kai’s request to the Qing government to send troops to North Korea and to explore the tragic role played by Yuan Shikai in regard to the individuals and countries that have emerged from the Sino-Japanese War.
