The USA and the UK have an incestuous relationship and can be found screwing things up together in most cases. Despite what people think about us being free, the war we supposedly won against ya'll we didn't. We pay a "tribute" each year to the Queen and her family, it is due every year here on April 15th in what we call, income tax.
There was never a treaty signed and I can't remember at the moment who was King at the time, but in the armistice agreement he claimed the United States as a possession of the Royal family. Of course we are not taught that here, you have to actually go read the documents in order to see that for yourself.

Yup! I wasn't aware of the Royal Tribute you all have to pay, but I was aware that the "special relationship" that our leaders love to mention is about much more than grinning politicians posing for photocalls. I don't know if you've read The Anglo American Establishment by Carroll Quigley, but it sets out how this relationship was covertly nurtured and built up in the early 20th century. One unattributed quote mentioned in the book was this: "The function of force is to give moral ideas time to take root."

Haven't read the book you mentioned but sounds like it might be an interesting read. I don't put much stock in unattributed quotes, if you can't put the source I say don't bother with the "quote" since it can never be verified.

It is an interesting read, though a bit dry. The full text is avaliable in pdf format at archive.org.

Thanks for the heads up on where to find it.
