Abstract The end of the World War I was the watershed from which the United States began to compete for the world hegemony. In order to challenge the Europecentered system which was dominated by Great Britain， U.S. chose to re-construct European equipoise. Through the support and appeasement to the defeated Germany from political， economic and military aspects， U.S. quickly changed it into a check and a direct challenger toward Great Britain. Adversely， American blind connivance had made bad consequences: the rapid expansion of the German fascist launched the World War II, which caused a great disaster to the global civilization. Now， U.S. has yet to learn the lessons of history， continuing to adhere to its inherent hegemonic logic and repeat the same tactic. It chooses to indulge defeated Japan to contain China in East Asia. However， this policy can only lead to holding the candle to the devil and drawing fire against itself．
