Book France and the United States

Download or read book France and the United States written by Frank Costigliola and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France, more than any other Western ally, has consistently tried to maintain its autonomy from U.S. foreign policy by insisting on a distinctively French global view and agenda. Whether interpreted as proud independence or petty intransigence, such French assertiveness has often embittered relations between the two nations and has sparked exasperation and resentment on both sides. In France and the United States: the Cold Alliance since World War II, Frank Costigliola examines the cultural and psychological aspects of postwar relations between the United States and its oldest ally and demonstrates the way in which these less tangible factors have colored the strategic, political, and economic ties between the two nations. This is the first major study of the two countries to look closely at the language of their diplomatic and cultural relations, and in particular at the ways in which gendered metaphors and allusions subtly affect attitudes and policies. The author also breaks new ground by considering how the end of the Cold War, the unification of Germany, the Persian Gulf War, the changing role of NATO, and the rise of the European Community have affected U.S. relations with France and with Western Europe as a whole. This timely and lively account sheds light on the political and personal clashes that de Gaulle had with Roosevelt and Johnson and that Mitterrand has had with Reagan and Bush. The author integrates into his political analysis the fascinating stories of the contested introduction into France of Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Hollywood films, and Euro Disneyland; the controversial adoption of French theories by some American intellectuals, the quarrel over AIDS, and the building of the I. M. Pei Pyramid at the Louvre. Costigliola's richly detailed account will be an important text for scholars and students of the postwar histories of the United States, France, and Western Europe.

Book Anglo American Relations and the Franco Question  1945 1955

Download or read book Anglo American Relations and the Franco Question 1945 1955 written by Jill Edwards and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1999-04-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the formulation of British and American policy between 1945 and 1955 towards one of the most hated regimes of this century. The Franco question though apparently not of the first importance in the evolution of Cold War policy, nevertheless haunted British and American governments during this period. It posed a problem which epitomises the difficulty of dealing with pariah regimes. As such it highlights for historians the attempts of these two governments to straddle the contradictions inherent in the emerging dual system of the United Nations, or internationalism, on the one hand, and the older system of balance of power, played out by the super powers as the Cold War. Set as it is in the domestic and international context, it also exemplifies the problems faced today by individual governments and by the United Nations in dealing with questions of intervention or non-intervention in distasteful regimes.

Book Liberation and Franco American Relations in Post War Cherbourg

Download or read book Liberation and Franco American Relations in Post War Cherbourg written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to World War II, the port of Cherbourg was a premier deep-water European port for large trans-Atlantic vessels. Throughout World War I, Cherbourg was a hub of activity for the French and was a main base for repair of all naval vessels in northern France. On June 19, 1940, German armored vehicles rolled into Cherbourg. Throughout four years of occupation, the city population decreased from 40,000 to 5,000 before June 6, 1944. The international deep-water port was integral to the logistics support plan of the American forces. Throughout the Air Campaign in Normandy, the Allies dropped 1,000 tons of bombs in and around the city of Cherbourg. On June 25, 1944, the Allies captured the city after five days of fighting. The Germans achieved almost total destruction of the port facilities. It took the engineers three weeks to open the port, and five months passed before it was handling large amounts of cargo. Thus, the central research question is: Did the American military get it right concerning post-war renovation for the city of Cherbourg? The American military lived and worked in the city alongside the French. The American military commanders recognized that the actions of one soldier had potential consequences for the American presence in the city. The Americans made tremendous contributions to the restoration of the port. The Americans also repaired essential services in the city, employed the French, and renovated the buildings they occupied. The American military played an integral role in the liberation and renovation of the city of Cherbourg.
