20世纪初,出于共同对抗俄罗斯的需要,英、日两国先后两次缔结同盟条约。英日同盟的签订促使东亚国际局势迅速朝着有利于日本的方向发展,怂恿了日本的大陆扩张政策。正是在这种形势下,日本取得了日俄战争的胜利并进而实现了日韩合并,将朝鲜半岛变为自己的殖民地。 At the beginning of the 20th century, Britain and Japan successively concluded the alliance treaty twice for the common fight against Russia. The signing of the Anglo-Japanese alliance prompted the rapid development of the East Asia international situation in a direction favorable to Japan and encouraged Japan’s mainland expansion policy. It was in this situation that Japan achieved the victory of the Russo-Japanese War and thus realized the merger of Japan and South Korea, turning the Korean Peninsula into its own colony.
