Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject History of Germany - World War I, Weimar Republic, grade: 1 (A), University of Glasgow (Modern History), course: British Foreign Policy, language: English, abstract: I) Introduction: Answering the above question one must look back to the First World War. Various scholars have shown that the origins of tensions in Anglo-American relations derive mostly from problems centred on issues of the Great War. Therefore research on this topic must start slightly before the time frame given by the above question with the examination of the time period following the First World War (1918-1920). Since various issues influenced the decline of Anglo-American relations an essay on this topic should reasonably be arranged into the examination of different issues, rather than in a chronological way. Factors that entailed the decline in Anglo-American relations in the post-war period were the loss of influence and power of Great Britain, related to the financial dependency on the United States, Anglo-American rivalry for naval predominance, Anglo-American rivalry concerning the world′s oil and rubber resources , the war debt issue and the future of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. Thomas Buckley has shown that a deep suspicion of Britain existed within the American population and even within the American government. He stated that the predominant view on Britain was that of an arrogant competitor "whose pretensions of leadership failed to recognise realities of British decline and American rise." He reminded the community of Historians of how deep-rooted this suspicion was in the United States of the 1920s and 1930s. The suspicions grew on the belief that Britain worked only for its own interests and therefore always against the United States whose influence increased steadily. A large number of Americans believed that Britain had manipulated the United States into the war to save its very own interests. On the other side of the Atlantic similar resentments dominated the 1920s. British officials and media-representatives pointed out regularly the American strictness on the war debt issue and the danger of loosing the world-leadership. The British Ambassador to Washington wrote in 1921: "The central ambition of this realist school of American politicians is to win for America the position of leading nation in the world and also of leader among the English-speaking nations. To do this they intend to have the strongest navy and the largest mercantile marine. They intend also to prevent us from paying our debt by sending goods to America and they look for the opportunity to treat us as a vassal state so long as the debt remains unpaid." [...]

Book excerpt: "The 'Special Relationship' has long been a leading feature of the international relations beteen the USA and Britain, and never more discussed and questioned than now, following the Iraq war. But `Brothers Across the Ocean' is a unique examination into the Relationship's early history, when Britain's role as a leading global power was beginning to be rivalled - possibly eclipsed - by the USA. Based on detailed examination of official and private papers, Iestyn Adams's research shows how Anglo-American diplomacy operated in such diverse regions as South America, Canada - especially the Newfoundland disputes - Hawaii, and, vitally, in the Far East. Here is the leading example of Anglo-American cooperation following the Russo-Japanese War - a conflict of global importance - setting the stage for Anglo-American cooperation throughout the 20th century and beyond."--Bloomsbury publishing.

Download or read book America and Britain the Story of the Relations Between Two Peoples written by H. H. Powers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America and Britain, the Story of the Relations, Between Two Peoples This is not an argument but a story, the story of our relation with that people with whom we have had more to do, - and must seemingly continue to have more to do, - than with any other in the world. If the story seems to argue as it goes on, it is because, like other stories, it has its moral, a moral which it is not purposed either to emphasize or to avoid. Such bias as it may have is the unconscious bias of an American of American lineage, but an American who has seen much of Britain's work in the world, as well as that of other nations who work on somewhat different lines. Whatever the result of these experiences, the aim has been to tell the story just as it happened, omitting details only because they seem unimportant, never because they make for this or that conclusion. If the conclusion reached is at variance with tradition, it is because a juster balance is held between those showy and dramatic happenings upon which the popular imagination loves to dwell, and the quiet, unobtrusive factors which so often quite outweigh them in importance. An effort has also been made to view these international situations somewhat from both ends. We are prone to remember our end of a transaction and forget the other, even though the one may be quite unintelligible without the other. It is hoped that in certain cases the key to an understanding has thus been supplied. The story of Anglo-American relations is not an idyll or a tale of mutual chivalry and devotion.
