The end of the Second World War brought hopes of building a new society in Western Europe. This volume documents Foreign Office concerns about the range of problems, both multilateral and bilateral, which still remained to be resolved in the Nordic area, and describes the evolution of policies to deal with them. The Soviet Union, which in May 1945 already occupied parts of Norway and Denmark and dominated Finland, was perceived as a growing threat. The Nordic region was considered to be of significant strategic importance during this period. The documents describe the process whereby Britain attempted to encourage Scandinavian countries away from their support for neutrality and, by enlisting American support, began the process which led to the signature of the Atlantic Treaty in 1949, signed by Norway, Denmark and Iceland. They also include material describing the establishment of Information Research Department (formed to counteract Soviet propaganda) and illustrating some of its methods. Some documents not previously in the public domain have been declassified for this volume. Most are drawn from the archives of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, but there are also a number of Prime Ministerial and Cabinet Office documents. This book will be of much interest to students of the Cold War, European history, British political history, international history and IR in general. 410 0$aWhitehall histories.$pForeign and Commonwealth Office publications ;$vser. 1, v. 9. 410 0$aDocuments on British policy overseas. 517 3 $aNordic countries in the early Cold War, 1944-51 606 $aCold War$vSources 607 $aScandinavia$xForeign relations$vSources 615 0$aCold War 676 $a327.41 676 $a940.5309222 702 $aInsall$b Tony 702 $aSalmon$b Patrick 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822178803321 996 $aDocuments on British policy overseas$9226701 997 $aUNINA
