基本説明
Surveys Anglo-American relations from 1607 to the present and covers key events, individuals, and issues that have played a part in its history.
Full Description
Anglo-American relations have been a crucial factor in international relations for over two centuries. For most of that time dealings between Britain and the United States have remained co-operative, cordial, and supportive. In the beginning, however, relations were confrontational and discordant: the two nations waged war against each other twice—in the War of Independence and in the War of 1812—and have often disagreed over trade, finance, and foreign policy. This volume demonstrates the changing nature of Anglo-American relations and focuses, in particular, on the strengths and fragilities of the "special relationship" that developed in the aftermath of the WWII and continues to the present day.
The Historical Dictionary of Anglo-American Relations surveys Anglo-American relations from 1607 to the present and covers key events, individuals, and issues that have played a part in its history. Through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, appendixes, and hundreds of cross-referenced entries—with an emphasis on the political and economic relationship between Britain and the United States but also featuring the cultural links between the two—this comprehensive and easily accessible reference tool will delight those interested in the history of these two countries.
