The historic relationship between England and the United States is a long and complex one. The two countries have often been allies, but have also had periods of tension and conflict. During the early colonial period in America, England had many ties to the colonies, as well as a mutual interest in preventing the French and Spanish from gaining control of the new world. During the American Revolution, the two countries engaged in a bitter war of independence, before eventually reaching a peace treaty in 1783. The two countries then forged an alliance after the War of 1812, which further strengthened their ties and helped them to develop closer economic, political and cultural relationships over the coming centuries.
