  • General Lyman L. Lemnitzer and Nato, 1948–69

    Lawrence S KaplanARTICLECold War History2018

    The Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR), General Lyman L. Lemnitzer, was an unlikely hero who rose to the challenge of France’s expulsion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) from its territory in 1966. President de Gaulle’s action forced the Alliance to locate its new headquarters in another NATO country and move 800,000 tons of military equipment out of France in less than a year’s time. How to achieve this goal without irrevo…

  • Nato before the Korean War

    Lawrence S KaplanBOOKNato before the Korean War2013

    A reexamination of the formative years of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Conventional wisdom has the Korean War putting the “O” in NATO. Prior to that time, from the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on April 4, 1949, to the North Korean invasion of South Korea on June 25, 1950, the Treaty allies were just going through the motions of establishing an organization. Historian Lawrence Kaplan argues that this is a mistaken view, and he fi…

  • Nato 1948

    Lawrence S KaplanBOOKNato 19482007

    This compelling history brings to life the watershed year of 1948, when the United States reversed its long-standing position of political and military isolation from Europe and agreed to an "entangling alliance" with ten European nations. Not since 1800, when the United States ended its alliance with France, had the nation made such a commitment. The historic North Atlantic Treaty was signed on April 4, 1949, but the often-contentious negotiatio…

  • Never at War

    Lawrence S Kaplan, Spencer R WeartARTICLEThe Journal of Military History1999

    This lively survey of the history of conflict between democracies reveals a remarkable-and tremendously important-finding: fully democratic nations have never made war on other democracies. Furthermore, historian Spencer R. Weart concludes in this thought-provoking book, they probably never will. Building his argument on some forty case studies ranging through history from ancient Athens to Renaissance Italy to modern America, the author analyzes…

    A casual glance at the display in front of the SHAPE Liaison Office in Room 1A711 of the Pentagon in 1996 might have startled an unwary observer. Throughout the year, under the slogan of 'Operation Joint Endeavor – the New NATO', there was a list of non-NATO countries, eighteen including Russia, contributing forces to NATO's operation in Bosnia. The flags of sixteen countries flanked the office, along with colour photographs of Supreme Allied Com…

    These stirring words from Lord Byron's Don Juan evoked strong emotions among Americans as they witnessed the beginnings of the Greek revolution against the Ottoman Empire in 1821. Then and later, Greek democracy was regarded as the archetype for American democracy, and this assumption produced two antithetical doctrines-the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 and the Truman Doctrine of 1947. In the Monroe Doctrine, the inspiration of the Greek revolution cel…
