《临时协议》与战后初期英美核合作

战后英美核合作走过了一段极其艰难的旅程,尤其是1945年至1951年的英美核合作更是充满了矛盾与纷争,成为战后英美关系中的"另类"和"反常现象"。美国国会于1946年8月通过了《麦克马洪法》,致使英美核合作停滞不前。但经过英美两国政府艰苦努力,1948年1月英美加三国达成《临时协议》,英美两国在非军事领域开展核合作。《临时协议》是英美两国讨价还价的结果。该协议的达成不失为英美两国政府一次成功的合作,两国政府均将其视为一个很大的胜利。

Modus Vivendi and Anglo-American Nuclear Collaboration in the Early Period of Post WWII

The Anglo-American nuclear collaboration underwent a very hard journey in the early period of post WWII, especially during the years from 1945 to 1951. It became the anomaly in the postwar Anglo-American relations. The McMahon Act of 1946 was the main obstacle to Anglo-American nuclear collaboration. But owing to the hard work of the British government and the US government, a modus vivendi between Britain, the U.S. and Canada was reached in January of 1948 and Anglo-American nuclear collaboration started in the non-military area. The Modus Vivendi was the result of a deal between the British government and the US government. The agreement on the Modus Vivendi could be considered as the successful collaboration between the British government and the US government. And actually both the British government and the US government regarded the agreement of Modus Vivendi as a fairly great victory.
