Abstract

The Study discusses the Impact of American policy on the Situation in China since the American Recognition of the Republican System in China in 1913 until the Japanese invasion in 1937, and how the United States of America relied on the policy of Idealism and not touching China's independence and the necessity of protecting it from foreign interference, with the aim of preserving the open door policy that it adopted between the colonial powers in China at the beginning of the twentieth century. However, the Study reached the fact that American policy is subject to change with the Requirements of the Stage, as it succeeded in Containing Japanese expansionist ambitions and depriving Japan of its vital sphere in China when American diplomacy sought to implement the open door policy, but Japan exploited the hostility of the United States and other capitalist regimes to the communist tide, and also, the Chinese nationalist forces’ fight against the communists since 1927, and the American position supporting any forces opposing communism, a means to achieve its expansionist ambitions in China, and an outlet for its occupation of Manchuria in 1931, and the coldness of the international position towards the occupation was a motive for Japan to occupy the rest of the Chinese territories in 1937, under the pretext of protecting its interests from the communist tide.
