众所周知,英日两国上个世纪初至第一次世界大战时曾为战略同盟。但西方正史对日本在一战中扮演的角色着墨甚少。普遍认为,日本不过是“无足轻重的走卒”。更多人认为,日本实际上是趁着欧洲战乱。在亚洲“趁火打劫”的渔利者。这段语焉不详的史实其实有另一副面孔。 It is well-known that Britain and Japan were strategic allies from the beginning of the last century until the First World War. However, the official history of the West has little to say about Japan’s role in World War I. It is generally accepted that Japan is merely “a pawn of no importance.” More people think that Japan is actually taking advantage of the war in Europe. A fisherman who is “looting” in Asia. The fact that this passage is not well-known actually has another face.
