摘要
在拿破仑战争期间,英国外交的两个重要利益点遭到严重威胁,一是捍卫国家领土免遭侵犯,二是提高对外贸易与促进经济繁荣。战争让英国深刻认识到,维持欧洲均势才能捍卫英国本土安全,才能实现全球自由贸易。外交上英国在战后最关心两件事,一是恢复欧洲大陆的均势,防止类似拿破仑噩梦的再度发生;二是极力维持欧洲的和平。战后的和平外交成为英国外交政策的主线,它服务于欧洲均势的宗旨。
There were two important benefits of British foreign policies during the Napoleonic wars,one was defending the country's territory against aggression,the other was improvement of foreign trade and promotion of economic prosperity,but both of them were seriously threatened.Wars made British deeply recognize that maintaining European balance of powers was of vital importance for defending homeland security and achieving global free trade.The British foreign policies most concerned two points in post-war: one was recovery of the European balance of power,so as to prevent the similar nightmare as the Napoleonic wars,and the other was maintaining European peace.After-war peaceful diplomacy became the mainline of British foreign policy which serves the purpose of European balance of power.
