Abstract
Many signs in history show that the UK and the usa detain a privileged relation.
As one of the first British colony to be liberated, the usa has always been related to great britain. These two countries share the same language, the same political tradition, the same religion. From the point of view of the other countries in the world, this relation is seen as close. For instance, the French General de Gaulle always considered great britain as the "cheval de Troyes" ("the horse of Troyes") of the US. This expression was used to refuse the entrance of GB in EU. It is Winston Churchill who used the first the famous formula « special relationship" in the House of Common on November the 7th 1945 (« we should not abandon our special relationship with the United States and canada about the atomic bomb »). Whereas the Anglo American relations were quite tensed before the World war two, Churchill announced a new era of closer relations.
