Abstract

Abstract After the Second World War ended in 1945, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tried to seize Qingdao, a major port city on the Shandong Peninsula. The landing of U.S. Marines there foiled the CCP's attempt. With the support of the Kuomintang (KMT)—the CCP's main enemy—the U.S. Marines stayed in Qingdao throughout the civil war in China, from late 1945 to mid-1949. Drawing on archival sources from China, the United States, the former Soviet Union, Great Britain, and Japan, this article explores CCP-KMT-U.S. interactions regarding the presence of U.S. Marines in Qingdao. The KMT-CCP civil war influenced—and was influenced by—the presence of the Marines in Qingdao. The KMT government depended on the U.S. Marines for security, whereas the CCP, opposing the U.S. presence, took a tough propaganda stance but remained cautious in its actions. The United States ultimately decided to withdraw the Marines to avoid overt involvement in the Chinese civil war. This type of triangular engagement influenced the future pattern of Cold War confrontations among the three parties.
青岛模式与美中危机管理:中国内战期间(1945-1949)在青岛的国民党、中共和美国海军陆战队
摘要1945年第二次世界大战结束后,中国共产党试图夺取山东半岛主要港口城市青岛。美国海军陆战队在那里的登陆挫败了中共的企图。在中国共产党的主要敌人国民党的支持下,从1945年末到1949年年中,美国海军陆战队在中国内战期间一直驻扎在青岛。本文借鉴了中国、美国、前苏联、英国和日本的档案资料,探讨了CCP-KMT-U。美国就美国海军陆战队在青岛的存在进行互动。KMT-CCP内战影响并受到海军陆战队在青岛的存在的影响。国民党政府依靠美国海军陆战队提供安全保障,而反对美国存在的中共则采取了强硬的宣传立场,但在行动中保持谨慎。美国最终决定撤出海军陆战队,以避免公开卷入中国内战。这种三角接触影响了三方未来冷战对抗的模式。
