The International Treaties In Northeast Asia Before The End Of The Second World War

With the emergence and development of capitalism, global colonial expansion isrampant, northeast Asia as an important part of the geostrategic position between Asiaand Europe, it cause the capitalist powers covet. The colonial plunder of powers innortheast Asia area gradually decline until before the end of the second World War, thecolonial invasion almost throughout the whole process of the modern history ofnortheast Asia area.In this paper, treaties will be divided into the treaty allies, boundary, railway,resources four aspects, according to the capitalist powers in northeast Asia practiceways, means and consequences of colonial rule, balancing the differences andrelevance of treaty properties.The border treaties in Northeast Asia, involves the boundaries and boundarydemarcation two aspects.In terms of boundaries, Russia invaded to China as the maincontent. Russia forced China to sign the unequal treaties with it, then Russia occupy alarge amount of boundary land between China and Russia where original Belongs toChina. After the Russia--Japan war, Japan started to compete with Russia for theSakhalin island and the four northern islands, there were occupied by the Soviet unionafter world war ii. It caused the unresolved problem about Japan-Russian four northernislands. Due to China’s defeat in the Sino-Japanese war in1895, the Liaodongpeninsula, the islands of Taiwan and the Penghu islands were ceded to Japan in the“Ma Guan treaty”, territorial dispute happened. Liaodong peninsula paid forredemption by China, in Russia, France and Germany interference. The author thinksTaiwan, Penghu islands are not delimited in Northeast Asia, therefore the discussionhave not made. Because the Russian move landmarks along the way to expand theoccupation of Chinese territory, then multiple treaties about border were signed between China and Russia. The main reason what many times the demarcation borderbetween China and the Korea are crossing and plough by Korean and inconsistenciesabout border by two sides. After Korea became the Japan’s “protectorate” in1905, theborder problem transferred to Japan from Korea. The treaties about it determined theborder. Border treaties embody in the destruction of national sovereignty and territorialsovereignty by Russia and Japan. From perspective that the length and the stability ofthe alliance, the former more than the latter. At the same time, it also suggests that,affaires in northeast Asia affairs more and more reflects the capitalist countries in theglobal competition.The alliance treaties in Northeast Asia include two parts.The one part is alliancethat Japan with other countries. The other is strategic alliance between the Soviet unionand the Outer Mongolia after it independence.The common characteristic of Japanalliance with foreign is these alliances directly benefits to Japan. Regardless of thealliance with the relationship between these countries is still fighting, are service forJapan’s colonial interests in northeast China and Korea. Relative to alliance with Japan,Mongolia and ally of the Soviet Union does not have such selectivity. Either in theOuter Mongolia independence or in the alliance, it implemented under the mastermindof the Soviet Union. Soviet look Outer Mongolia as it military, political buffer zone,and service for its hegemony in northeast Asia, while ignoring the Outer Mongoliaoriginating countries China and Mongolia sovereignty and the will.The railway treaties in Northeast Asia embodies competition among the Russia,Japan, the United States, Britain and other countries for railway power. Britain is theearliest building railways in the world, Russia to build the trans-Siberian railwayacross Eurasia, the United States is also built railway from east to west of its country,Japan is conceived network plan through northeast Asia railway. Russia not only forceChina to agree to build the Siberian railway across the northeast of China, also robland and resources along the railway in the name of the railway lands. In addition,Russia in outer Mongolia also built the railroads. Japan not only get its way in northKorea, also took over in the southern section of the Middle East railway after1905.Moreover,Japan established the Man Tie, strongly built An－Feng and Ji－Changrailways, the railways in northeast of China links up with Korea, for Japan’s network planning, provided a condition for the Japanese colonial rob. America wants toimplement the expansion of forces to the Northeast Asia, on grounds of northeastChina’s railroad for sharing "benefits" of the northeast Asia. It express the Americancoveted interests in northeast Asia. And the failure of the American railway plan showsthe Japan and Russia and other countries to protect their vested interests in northeastAsia region. After the September18th incident, Japan held in northeast of China,northeast railway all fall into Japanese hands.The resources treaties in Northeast Asia embodies to destructive to plunderresources in northeast China and Korea by the colonial countries represented by Japanand Russia. Japan is a country with a lack of resources, at the same time expansemodern armament continuously, so the demand for resources is the most prominent.The category of resources is numerous, most are non-renewable resources, such as coal,iron, gold, oil etc. Colonial countries such as Japanese and Russian exploit theseresources devastatingly. For example Russian develop the gold mine in northeastChina by original private across the border into "legal" to develop a large number ofmining after signing treaties. Russia Exploitation of forest resources In Korea andnortheast of China’s in the same way. Another characteristic of resources treaties inNortheast Asia is that to plunder resources defined by geography, rather than to asingle resource to restrict the types, such as the Russian develop gold mining in Korea,it also have all the rights of mineral resources can be achieved at the time of. Thatreflects the nature of its as colonial and to plunder the extent of the local resources. Onthe whole, the colonial countries focus on competition for coal, petroleum and otherresources about military and strategic power.To sum up, these treaties in northeast Asia is positive proof of modern capitalismpowers expansionism, under the background of political hegemony, it has lost its moraltaboos and fair baseline,it completely turned out that the treaties to be the tool of thecolonialism.
