Bring back War Plan Red.
It's wild how in so many documents from 1945, 1946, and 1947, US military elites refer to the UK and the USSR as equally potential competitors

This adds to my revisionist claim that for many (not all--though particularly those in the military elite) anti-communism was epiphenomenal to military primacy/dominance

Before Bevinite Atlanticism took full hold on the Labour Party there were probs my many who thought a tri-polar world (either UK or UK + rest of Europe) was the logical outcome of WWII

Fascinating. That seems like some real insanity there. How is did they think it was possible given the huge British war debt to the US? Did they say?

The UK was ahead of everyone with technology. They traded it all for the use of US factories during the war, but the outcome wasn’t known yet.

This is why I have a soft (and critical) spot for the "revisionists" - so much of the discussion during and right after WWII is the fear of economic competition. Hence why military primacy was conceptualized as a result of and adjunct to economic primacy throughout the Cold War.pic.twitter.com/b1t3P3PFMi
