Par ailleurs, les liens forgés entre les deux pays à l'occasion des deux guerres mondiales et durant toute la guerre froide ont fait de la Grande-Bretagne l'allié privilégié de la super-puissance américaine. La "special relationship" connut son apogée durant les années 80, qui virent Margaret Thatcher adopter une politique résolument pro-américaine, au détriment des liens avec les partenaires européens de la Grande-Bretagne. Aujourd'hui, certains critiques reprochent au personnel politique britannique de s'aligner systématiquement sur Washington en matière de politique extérieure au nom de la "special relationship". -
