試題 :
申論題。請選兩題作答。
1.經過了30多年的嘗試，一支英國探險隊終於在1953年首度登上喜馬拉雅山最高峰埃佛勒
斯山頂，創下了世界紀錄。消息傳到國內當天正是英國女王加冕之日，新聞界立刻將這
件事與英國海外殖民事業開始時的第一位伊莉莎白女王連結起來。一份新聞周刊The
Spectator的社論提到"The central Elizabethan virtues were courage and
enterprise. ... There is not the slightest sign that the creative energies
of the British people are any less now than they have been in the past four
hundred years. ... A nation that can still produce men who climb to the top
of Everest, who give one example after another in Korea of the highest
military virtue, and who invent and fly the best passenger aircraft in the
world, is certainly not lacking in imagination and flair."請問Spectator周刊
如此評論這個事件，提供我們瞭解第二次世界大戰後的英國什麼線索？*
2.Outline some policies which you think might have prevented the First World
War, if they had been followed by the rulers of the chief European states
between 1871 and 1914.
3.請解釋這段話：
The most momentous change after the French Revolution and the Napoleonic
wars was the destruction of the Holy Roman Empire. By 1870-1 it was clear
that Napoleon's assault on German traditions had paved the way for the
country to become the richest and most powerful in Europe, if not the world.
European history after Napoleon has been dominated by the 'German question',
and for this reason alone the period 1789 to 1815 can be seen as forming the
natural end to 'early modern Europe'.
*一句題外話：同學若是對此事件有興趣，請看Gordon T. Stewart在Past and Present,
149(1995)的文章。
