Russia, France and Germany have lost their checks and balances on Britain and Japan.
Generally speaking, this is due to the general environment of the Russian-German-French alliance, which is aimed at Japan on the surface and Britain in fact. At that time, Japan and Britain did not sign the anglo-japanese alliance Treaty (190265438+1October 30th). However, during the Sino-Japanese War, Britain's attitude was quite ambiguous. This makes Russia, Germany and France, which compete with Britain, daydream.
From 1840 to 1890, Britain and Russia have the greatest economic and territorial interests in China. So when Britain occupied Indian bases, it generally adopted the China issue? Maintain the status quo? . However, Russia's greed for territory has always wanted to go south, and Britain is also picking things up in the southwest, hoping to go north, but the two sides are in different directions. Finally, the two sides met in Xinjiang, and finally the British and Russian attempts were drowned by the left. Since then, Britain has been relatively more eager? Maintain the status quo? . But as? World empire? Britain's strength is limited, unlike Russia's territorial expansion of Eurasia.
Britain wants to find one? Interest spokesperson? . The relationship between the United States and Japan is very good. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan's interests in China and the safety of overseas Chinese were managed by American diplomatic agencies in China. After the war between the two countries, diplomatic channels were cut off, and the United States helped Japan act as an agent. Therefore, Britain is gradually approaching Japan.
The Franco-Russian alliance began in 1882 and reached its climax in 1893. Its main target is Germany. Although Britain and France often cooperate, they have always been there? Navy first? The question of competition. Especially in the 1980s, when 19 was used for reference by France? Defeated by Franco-Prussian? Out of the shadows, the impulse of colonial invasion is getting stronger and stronger. So the relationship with Britain is getting more and more tense.
German-Russian alliance. 1873 and 1878, signed by Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia twice? Huang San League? . Although the German-Russian-Austrian alliance broke down after 1887, it was mainly because of the great contradiction between Russia and Austria-Hungary that the German-Russian relationship was reconciled. In order to deal with the enemy of Britain, the two sides still maintain cooperation on many issues.
Russia, Germany and France tried to stop Japan? Take it all? Fruit to the purpose of China, and forced the Japanese to return to Liaodong Peninsula.
Compared with China, if the Liaodong Peninsula is occupied by Japan, Japan can threaten our Beijing-Tianjin region, and the Japanese occupation of Korea will form a complete front of aggression. Although the Sino-Japanese War stopped, it did launch a war of aggression regardless of whether this route threatened the Qing court in the future. From this front, we can directly attack Beijing and Tianjin, or at least force the Qing Dynasty to form an alliance at the gates. This poses a fatal threat to the interests of Russia, France and Germany in Asia.
Russia belongs to Russia, France and Germany? Core countries? This is the fundamental reason why Li Hongzhang signed the Sino-Russian Secret Treaty with Russia in 1896. At that time, Russia wanted to annex North Korea in the northeast and northeast of China, and Japan occupied North Korea, so Russia's southward strategy suffered a major setback. The annexation of Liaodong Peninsula is a great anger of Russia.
As a new empire, Germany was divided up by Britain, France, America, Spain, Portugal and other countries. If occupied by Japan in East Asia, Germany will not be able to achieve its goal.
France has colonies in Indochina Peninsula and is interested in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan Province provinces. But what did Britain do? Maintain the status quo? With regard to France, Japan now has the acquiescence of Britain and the support of the United States, which makes France dissatisfied with Britain.
It can be said that in the jungle world, the western countries that colonized and invaded the world for five or six hundred years will not speak for the oppressed countries, but because of their interests.
