Abstract
When referring to Japan’s territorial expansions since the modern times,Chinese scholars are in-clined to focus on its territorial seizures with the use of force.However,more than resorting to force,Japan also chose to enlarge its own territory through diplomatic channels,thus glorifying itself as a civilized nation.“Bonin Islands Negotiations”provide us an opportunity to look into Japan’s diplomatic behavior in the process of terri-torial expansions.Either at the end of the Shogunate eras or in the early Meiji period,Japan acquired sovereign-ty of the Bonin Islands through a series of negotiations with Great Britain and also the United States.Even after the conclusion of World War II,Japan succeeded in taking back the sovereign rights over the Bonin Islands through a bilateral agreement with the United States.Making an in -depth exploration on the “Bonin Islands negotiations”could help us gain further understandings of Japan’s diplomatic measures for territorial expansion.关键词
