In the turbulent years before World War II, U.S. strategic planners
struggled with the question of Canadian security. Franklin
Roosevelt took a unique interest in America's northern neighbor and
persistently encouraged Canada to do more to ensure its own defense
especially through alliance with the U.S. This aspect of foreign
policy resulted in a delicate balancing act between U.S. officials
who sought to downplay the strategic importance of Canada and
Canadian leaders who saw American overtures as a threat to Canadian
sovereignty. The first chapter discusses Roosevelt's early efforts
between 1933 and 1937 to increase Canadian interest in North
American defense. The second follows events up to the outbreak of
war. Although Canada had been seen as part of the rival British
Empire, Canada now became a natural ally in hemispheric security
efforts. Roosevelt's dealings with Canadian Prime Minister W.L.M.
King, who would be branded a puppet for these interactions, and the
evolution of continental defense efforts are discussed in the third
chapter. The fourth chapter chronicles the wartime struggles of two
new allies, as Roosevelt became more concerned with Europe and the
coming Soviet threat. The final chapter further explains the
declining interest in Canada as World War II becomes the focus of
American interests.
