甲午战争中国失败的原因和教训

甲午战争是近代史上划时代的重大事件。这是一场由日本发动的侵略战争。日本政府坚定的对外扩张和侵略的国家意志,以及神道文化对天皇制政府的坚定维护,使日本国民在国家意志的指挥下形成了国民普遍的进取心。而中国传统文化的惰性———安于现状、消极隐退、保守封闭,空谈"义、理",较少研究维护"义、理"的方略,这注定清政府不可能形成坚强的战争意志,进取的大国精神。清政府的腐败和战争意志的薄弱以及国民精神的颓废决定了战争的结果。这是构成中国失败的根本原因。由此,我们得出,国家意志的正确和坚强以及国民精神的奋发向上也是硬道理。这也是维系一个国家能否由弱到强,长盛不衰的永久的动力支持。
