Since the American Revolution, the United States and the British Empire's relationship had been troubled. There had been the War of 1812, U.S.-Canadian border disputes, and a general suspicion between the two. The U.S. was seen as a potential threat by the British Empire, and the latter was seen by the former as the antique and aristocratic empire that had once ruled them. However, the Americans were aware of how much they owed to their British background, and the British institutions had always contrasted favorably against their European counterparts; as early as 1823, the United Kingdom backed up the American Monroe Doctrine, presaging future cooperation. The differences that had separated an agrarian and anti-imperialist United States and the industrialized British Empire had rapidly diminished in the decades preceding the Great War.
