DESCRIPTION:1916 was arguably the lowest point in Anglo-American relations
  between the War of 1812 and Suez. Tensions arose daily over the British b
 lockade of Europe and American attempts to mediate an end to World War I\,
  causing Woodrow Wilson and his advisors to muse about the possibility of 
 a future war and the British ambassador to consider withdrawing his creden
 tials. In the background lurked even more consequential issues\, particula
 rly the steady but perceptible shift of financial – and potentially mili
 tary – power west over the Atlantic. This talk explores the events of th
 at year and particularly how popular passions and nationalism shaped the r
 elationship.\n\nAndrew Gawthorpe is a University Lecturer in the Institute
  for History at Leiden University. He is currently leading a five-year res
 earch project on “American foreign policy and liberalism”\, funded by 
 a grant from the Dutch Research Council. He is the author of To Build as w
 ell as Destroy: The American Experience of Nation-Building in the Vietnam 
 War (Cornell 2019) and also contributes widely to popular media\, includin
 g through his podcast\, America Explained.\nSpeakers:\nDr Andrew Gawthorpe
