I mean yes, but what was the path to get from there to here? After the Civil War, there was a years-long diplomatic mess between the US and Britain over British economic help to the confederacy that became a cornerstone of international law into the 20th century. When did it end?

The First World War, I’d imagine. Hard to keep that fiction up after treating the US as “co-belligerents” lost Germany the war.
