The Root Cause of the Military Crisis in the Taiwan Strait(1995─1996) / 台灣海峽軍事危機根源之研究─以1995-1996年台海飛彈危機為例

碩士 / 淡江大學 / 國際事務與戰略研究所碩士在職專班 / 95 / Though the missile crisis in the Taiwan Strait during 1995-1996 has passed, it is not the only crisis in the past ten years. Conflicts often happen and no one can guarantee that a conflict in the future will not become a war. After the 11th ROC presidential election in 2004, the relationship between both sides of the Taiwan Strait and America brought forth a series of dramatic changes.
Mainland China used to hold military exercises with a low profile. But exercises that were held from July to December 1995 were completely different. Mainland China gave those exercises great publicity in order to threaten Taiwan. In March 1996, Mainland China launched missiles in the area of the in Taiwan Strait close to two main cities of Taiwan, and held military exercises twice.Since 1949, Mainland China and Tainwan have had military crisis in 1954,1955 and 1958.Afterwards,peace has been maintained between the two sides for close to forty years.Now,due to the new threat from Mainland China ,the two sides are on the verge of another military crisis.
We believe that Mainland China had two purposes to hold military exercises. First, they wanted to influence of Taiwan independence. Second,they wanted to warn the U.S government insist on a one China policy, and show the ability of the modern PLA. Based on the exercises during 1995-96, the analysis of the factors of the military crisis in the Taiwan strait is the purpose of this study.
