摘要

在第一次世界大战期间和之后,美国向饱受战争蹂躏的欧洲提供了大量的人道主义和经济援助。撇开同情不谈,国际历史学家早就认识到,这种对外援助带有战略和社会期望。美国的慷慨是为了在国外建立信任、尊敬和影响力,并通过激发接受者的“感激之情”,转化为一种外交政策优势。但当这些期望落空时又会发生什么呢?本文着眼于第一次世界大战后的跨大西洋关系,探讨感恩在两次世界大战之间的国际政治中的作用。这表明,对欧洲人来说,适当地“感恩”是多么困难,而美国公众对这种被认为是“忘恩负义”的表现会做出多么情绪化的反应。美国的援助——以及随之而来的期望和义务——可能会激起大西洋两岸的不信任和怨恨。

(In)Gratitude, US Ascendancy and Transatlantic Relations after the First World War
During and after the First World War, the United States provided very substantial amounts of humanitarian and economic aid to war-torn Europe. All compassion aside, international historians have long recognised the strategic and social expectations attached to such foreign aid. US generosity was to build trust, reverence and influence abroad and, by inspiring ‘gratitude’ among recipients, to translate into a foreign policy advantage. But what happened when these expectations were disappointed? This article looks at transatlantic relations after the First World War to explore the role of gratitude in interwar international politics. It shows just how difficult it often was for Europeans to be appropriately ‘grateful’ and how emotionally the US public could react to such displays of perceived ‘ingratitude’. US aid – and the expectations and obligations that came with it – could excite distrust and resentment on both sides of the Atlantic.

期刊介绍: Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present. By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage. It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis. One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor. The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
