中国抗战与日本南进政策的选择

二战中日本选择南进政策的根本动因何在？从全局上看，日本选择南进与中国抗战有必然的联系。正是中国抗战促使日本放弃了北进，而不得不贸然南进。南进既是日本帝国主义的无奈之举，又是破釜沉舟之策，由此注定了日本的最终失败。从这种意义上说，日本帝国主义的失败始于侵华战争。

The Chinese Anti-Japanese War and the Japanese Strategical Choice of Marching South

Why did Japan set up the strategical choice of marching south during the Second World War?This paper attempts to point out that there are important relations between the Japanese strategical choice of marching south and the Chinese Anti Japanese war.The Chinese Anti Japanese War made Japan fail to make detailed policy to start a war against the Soviet Union and Japanese set up the strategical choice of marching south,even ran a risk facing the war of Pacific Ocean,which was actually the extension and enlargemment of the Chinese battlefield.From this view,the author thinks that the policy of marching south is a passive action,a result that Japanese rendered themselves in a difficult position in the Chinese war.
