1962年9月内战爆发后,北也门便成了中东主要国际力量角逐的场所。为了维护自身利益,肯尼迪政府改变了最初所奉行的不介入政策,积极地推动也门和平进程。然而,由于各方利益冲突太大,肯尼迪政府恢复北也门和平的目标最终还是未能实现。影响美国也门政策的因素很多,除了大石油公司和英国的压力外,苏联因素无疑是它考虑的重要方面。 After the civil war broke out in September 1962, northern Yemen became the place where the major international forces in the Middle East competed. In order to safeguard their own interests, the Kennedy Administration has changed the original non-intervention policy and actively promoted the peace process in Yemen. However, due to the conflicting interests of all parties, the goal of the Kennedy Administration’s restoration of peace in North Yemen was ultimately not realized. There are many factors that affect the U.S. policy toward Yemen. Apart from the pressure from major oil companies and the United Kingdom, the Soviet factor is undoubtedly an important aspect of its consideration.
