Thread: History of security cooperation betwen the US and EU

Lately I have been trying to find some data on the history of security and defence relations betwen the US and EU. I checkd out the Helsinki Accords, The North Atlantic Treaty, Vilnus Declaration, Rumsfelds speech about "old" and "new" europe. Is there anything in this topic that i missed and you recommend me to check out?

European Recovery Plan...commonly called the Marshall Plan in the US.

Potsdam agreement (for context)

More recent you might want to look at the Dayton Accord

There's quite a few Status of Forces Agreements as well.

Another matters that had a large indirect role on overall political and economic shift from Europe to US might be the Suez Crisis

Hi there perhaps you may want consider reading this document from the Fride group, it gives lots of interesting back ground to the recent history of EU-US security cooperation and makes reference to the faux pas of the Rumsfeld speeches refering to 'old' & 'new' Europe.

That link is nothing more than blatant EU propaganda. N.A.T.O. has worked very well for quite a number of years now. Your hero Obama will be gone very soon.

Behave, most of it is just background information and surely the EU working with NATO is a possitive thing. Well yes Obama is an inspirational politician, but hero? come on that's a bit strong!

Anyway, the best of luck for your race tomorrow Dave
