中法战争是法帝国主义侵略越南和中国而引起的。清政府在战争中持抵抗态度,除了最高统治者为着自身利益需要外,主战派的推动是一个重要因素。主战派虽有系派之分,但他们的主张反映了民族的利益和要求,他们在战争中组织力量,指导有方,赢得了军事上的重要胜利,振奋了民族精神。然而,时代与阶级属性使主战派不可避免地存在局限性。 The Sino-French War was caused by the French imperialist aggression against Vietnam and China. The Qing government held a resistance attitude during the war. In addition to the highest rulers’ needs for their own interests, the promotion by the war party was an important factor. Although the main war camps are divided into four lines, their claims reflect the interests and demands of the nation. They organized forces during the war, guided them with respect and won important military victories and inspired the national spirit. However, the time and class attributes inevitably limit the war faction.
