欧战爆发后的日法谈判

欧战爆发给日本侵占东南亚提供了绝好的机会,但由于日军主力深陷对华战争的泥潭,无法抽身南进,于是日本在一个时期只得采取以外交手段为主,谋求各个击破的南进措施。由于法国自顾不暇,成为日本首先欲突破的对象。法国先是采取拖延时日的策略,一度顶住了日本的外交攻势。至法军对德全线崩溃,法国维希政权成立时,法方已无力与日本周旋,只得全面接受了日本侵占法印的要求。

The Japan - France Negotiation after the European War

The European War brought a good chance for Japan to invade the South-East Asia. However, the Japanese troops can not get away for the Southing, because its main force was unfavorably involved in the Sino-Japanese War. Therefore, during this period, Japan had to adopt mainly diplomatic strategy so that he can succeed in his Southing step by step. France became his first target because at that time France was busy with his own affairs. France adopted a strategy of delay and resisted the Japanese diplomatic pressure for some time. But France had to accept Japan's demand and transferred the France-controlled Indochina to Japan when the French Force completely failed in the European War and the Vichy Government was set up.
