19世纪末，随着英国国力的裹退，“光辉孤立”已无法再维持下去。俄、法、德三国的联合使英国在列强对远东的争夺中处于劣势。1900－1901年的远东危机进一步恶化了英国的处境，有关中国问题的解决，主要依据了俄、法、德三国的利益。在俄国加紧对中国北方扩张和俄、法、德三国联手的情况下，保全利益的惟一途径就是寻求盟国。远东危机最终推动了英国与日本结盟，此举标志着“光辉孤立”的结束。
In the late 19th century, with the withdrawal of British power, “glorious isolation” can no longer be maintained. The alliance of Russia, France and Germany put Britain at a disadvantage in the battle between the powers and the Far East. The crisis in the Far East in 1900-1901 further worsened the situation in Great Britain. The settlement of China’s problems was mainly based on the interests of Russia, France and Germany. Under the circumstances that Russia has stepped up its expansion to northern China and the joint efforts of Russia, France and Germany, the only way to preserve its interests is to seek allies. The Far-Eastern Crisis eventually promoted the alliance between Britain and Japan, marking the end of “glorious isolation.”
