This book is a collection of diplomatic documents describing the
development of British relations with the Nordic countries between
the end of the Second World War and the defeat of the Labour
Government in 1951. The end of the Second World War brought hopes
of building a new society in Western Europe. This volume documents
Foreign Office concerns about the range of problems, both
multilateral and bilateral, which still remained to be resolved in
the Nordic area, and describes the evolution of policies to deal
with them. The Soviet Union, which in May 1945 already occupied
parts of Norway and Denmark and dominated Finland, was perceived as
a growing threat. The Nordic region was considered to be of
significant strategic importance during this period. The documents
describe the process whereby Britain attempted to encourage
Scandinavian countries away from their support for neutrality and,
by enlisting American support, began the process which led to the
signature of the Atlantic Treaty in 1949, signed by Norway, Denmark
and Iceland. They also include material describing the
establishment of Information Research Department (formed to
counteract Soviet propaganda) and illustrating some of its methods.
Some documents not previously in the public domain have been
declassified for this volume. Most are drawn from the archives of
the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, but there are also a number of
Prime Ministerial and Cabinet Office documents. This book will be
of much interest to students of the Cold War, European history,
British political history, international history and IR in general.
