Description
This collection examines important aspects of Anglo-American relations in the 1920s. The reasons concern the diplomatic, economic and naval gains made by the United States at British expense during the Great War. Thus, whilst the Americans sought to build on those gains at British expense in the 1920s, the British resisted and a struggle for supremacy ensued. Although this struggle was conducted on the whole by peaceful means at both the official level, for example over war debts, and at the unofficial level, notably in competition for economic advantage in other parts of the world, this did not mean that relations were never pushed to the breaking point. Sometimes they were, for instance, in the two years after the failure of the Coolidge naval conferene in 1927. But the way in which this struggle was conducted forms a complex story. This collection is designed to understand that complexity and, by this, throw light on a crucial period in the histories of both British and American foreign policy, and of the history of twentieth century international affairs.
