1853-1862年西方列强对太平天国实行了近十年的“中立”政策,使中国政局朝着有利于太平天国的方面发展。本文分析了列强对太平天国实行“中立”政策的原因及造成的影响,对照西方列强对待其他对峙政权的“中立”政策,重新评价了列强对太平天国的“中立”问题。 During the period 1853-1682, the western powers imposed a “neutral” policy on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for nearly a decade, so as to make the political situation in China conducive to the development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This article analyzes the reasons and the effects of the powers’ “neutrality” policy on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and re-evaluates the “neutrality” of the powers against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in contrast with the “neutrality” policy that the Western powers treat other opposing political regimes.
