Abstract

The article provides information on the developments surrounding the relationship of Great Britain with the U.S. and Europe during the 1960s. It has been noted that by 1960 the country was trying to stop a descent in its strategic capabilities and to balance its relationships with the U.S. and Europe. Furthermore, the country's failure to produce and deliver its own nuclear weapons has exposed its growing dependence upon the U.S while observing neighboring country creating an independent nuclear deterrent.
