The bitter dispute between ethnic groups in the US from 1914?17?a period of time characterized as the ?culture wars??laid the groundwork both for US intervention in the European balance of power in 1917 and for the creation of what would eventually become a lasting Anglo-American alliance. Specifically, the vigorous assault on English ?civilization? launched by two large ethnic groups in America (the Irish-Americans and the German-Americans) had the unintended effect of causing America?s demographic majority at the time (the English-descended Americans) to regard the prospect of an Anglo-American alliance in an entirely new manner. The author contemplates why the Anglo-American ?great rapprochement? of 1898 failed to generate the desired ?Anglo-Saxon? alliance in Britain, and in so doing features theoretically informed inquiries into debates surrounding both the origins of the war in 1914 and the origins of the American intervention decision nearly three years later. David G. Haglund is Professor of Political Studies at Queen's University, Canada. His research focuses on transatlantic security and Canadian and American international security policy. 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aUS Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911180 606 $aAmerican Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411010 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 606 $aCultural History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000 606 $aUS History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/718010 606 $aBritish Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911120 607 $aUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government 607 $aUnited States$xStudy and teaching 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 14$aUS Politics. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aUS History. 615 24$aBritish Politics. 676 $a327.7304 676 $a327.41073 700 $aHaglund$b David G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0835465 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910338039203321 996 $aThe US "Culture Wars" and the Anglo-American Special Relationship$92519318 997 $aUNINA
