Abstract

Europa y Estados Unidos frente al problema de la integración de España en el sistema de seguridad occidental (1945-1953)

After WWII ended Franco’s régime succeeded in surviving the defeat of the Axis, which had been ist success’ determining factor, and little by little to get into the new political and economical international reality. The essay studies the essential passages of this comeback in the crucial period 1945-1953. Many aspects are studied, and the Author shows how a serious analysis of these events cannot be reduced to the bilateral relationship Washington-Madrid nor to the concluding year of 1953. There was in fact a much richer dialectics, where a determining role was played by the choices, both made and not made, by France and United Kingdom.
