{{Politics of the United Kingdom}}

The diplomatic [[foreign relations]] of the [[United Kingdom]] are conducted by the [[Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office]], headed by the [[Foreign Secretary (United Kingdom)|foreign secretary]]. The [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|prime minister]] and numerous other agencies play a role in setting policy, and many institutions and businesses have a voice and a role.

The United Kingdom was the world's [[power in international relations|foremost power]] during the 19th and early 20th centuries, most notably during the so-called "[[Pax Britannica]]"{{mdash}}a period of unrivaled supremacy and unprecedented international peace during the mid-to-late 1800s. The country continued to be widely considered a [[superpower]] until the [[Suez crisis]] of 1956 and the dismantling of the [[British Empire]] left the UK's dominant role in global affairs to be gradually diminished. Nevertheless, the United Kingdom remains a [[great power]] and a [[United Nations Security Council#Permanent members|permanent member]] of the [[United Nations Security Council]], a founding member of [[AUKUS]], the [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]], [[Council of Europe]], [[G7]], [[G20]], [[NATO]], [[Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development|OECD]], [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe|OSCE]], and the [[World Trade Organization|WTO]]. The UK was also a founding member state of the [[European Union]] (and a member of its predecessors) since 1973. However, due to the outcome of a 2016 [[2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum|membership referendum]], proceedings to withdraw from the EU [[United Kingdom invocation of Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union|began in 2017]] and concluded when the UK formally left the EU on 31 January 2020, and the [[Brexit withdrawal agreement#Transition period|transition period]] on 31 December 2020 with an [[EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement|EU trade agreement]]. Since the vote and the conclusion of trade talks with the EU, policymakers have begun pursuing new [[Free trade agreements of the United Kingdom|trade agreement]]s with other global partners.

Following the formation of the [[Kingdom of Great Britain]] (which united England and Scotland) in 1707, British foreign relations largely continued those of the [[Kingdom of England]]. British foreign policy initially focused on achieving a [[Balance of power (international relations)|balance of power]] within Europe, with no one country achieving dominance over the affairs of the continent. This policy remained a major justification for Britain's wars against Napoleon, and for British involvement in the [[First World War|First]] and [[Second World War]]s. Secondly Britain continued the expansion of its colonial "[[First British Empire]]" by migration and investment.

France was the chief enemy until the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. It had a much larger population and a more powerful army, but a weaker navy. The British were generally [[British military history|successful in their many wars]]. The notable exception, the [[American War of Independence]] (1775–1783), saw Britain, without any major allies, defeated by the American colonials who had the support of France, the Netherlands and (indirectly) Spain. A favoured British diplomatic strategy involved subsidising the armies of continental allies (such as [[Prussia]]), thereby turning London's enormous financial power to military advantage. Britain relied heavily on its [[History of the Royal Navy|Royal Navy]] for security, seeking to keep it the most powerful fleet afloat, eventually with a full complement of bases across the globe. British dominance of the seas was vital to the formation and maintaining of the British Empire, which was achieved through the support of a navy larger than the next two largest navies combined, prior to 1920. The British generally stood alone until the early 20th century, when it became friendly with the U.S. and made alliances with Japan, France and Russia and Germany former antagonist now ally.

The 100 years were generally peaceful—a sort of [[Pax Britannica]] enforced by the Royal Navy.  There were two important wars, both limited in scope. The [[Crimean War]] (1853–1856) saw the defeat of Russia and its threat to the Ottoman Empire. The [[Second Boer War]] (1899–1902) saw the defeat of the two Boer republics in South Africa and [[Boxer Rebellion]] happen the same year. London became the world's [[financial centre]], and commercial enterprise expanded across the globe. The "[[Second British Empire]]" was built with a base in Asia (especially India) and Africa.

{{main|History of the foreign relations of the United Kingdom#1920s}}
After 1918 Britain was a "troubled giant" that was less of a dominant diplomatic force in the 1920s than before. It often had to give way to the United States, which frequently exercised its financial superiority.<ref>F.S. Northedge, ''The troubled giant: Britain among the great powers, 1916-1939'' (1966).</ref>  The main themes of British foreign policy included a leading role at the [[Paris Peace Conference (1919–1920)|Paris Peace Conference]] of 1919–1920, where [[David Lloyd George|Lloyd George]] worked hard to moderate French demands for revenge on Germany.<ref>Erik Goldstein, ''Winning the peace: British diplomatic strategy, peace planning, and the Paris Peace Conference, 1916-1920'' (1991).</ref> He was partly successful, but Britain soon had to moderate French policy toward Germany further, as in the [[Locarno Treaties]] of 1925.<ref>Frank Magee, "‘Limited Liability’?

Britain became an active member of the new [[League of Nations]], but its list of major achievements was slight.<ref>Peter J.

Disarmament was high on the agenda, and Britain played a major role following the United States in the [[Washington Naval Conference]] of 1921 in working toward naval disarmament of the major powers.  By 1933 disarmament agreements had collapsed and the issue became rearming for a war against Germany.<ref>Raymond G. O'Connor, "The 'Yardstick' and Naval Disarmament in the 1920s." ''Mississippi Valley Historical Review'' 45.3 (1958): 441-463.

Britain was partially successful in negotiating better terms with United States regarding the large war loans which Britain was obliged to repay.<ref>Frank C. Costigliola, "Anglo-American financial rivalry in the 1920s." ''Journal of Economic History'' 37.4 (1977): 911-934.</ref> Britain supported the international solution to German reparations through the [[Dawes Plan]] and the [[Young Plan]]. After the Dawes Plan had helped stabilize Germany's currency and lowered its annual payments, Germany was able to pay its annual reparations using money borrowed from New York banks, and Britain used the money received to pay Washington.<ref>Patrick O. Cohrs, ''The unfinished peace after World War I: America, Britain and the stabilization of Europe, 1919-1932'' (Cambridge, 2006).</ref> The [[Great Depression]] starting in 1929 put enormous pressure on the British economy. Britain revived [[Imperial Preference]], which meant low tariffs within the British Empire and higher barriers to trade with outside countries. The flow of money from New York dried up, and the system of reparations and payment of debt died in 1931.

In domestic British politics, the emerging [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] had a distinctive and suspicious foreign policy based on [[pacifism]]. Its leaders believed that peace was impossible because of [[capitalism]], [[Secret treaty|secret diplomacy]], and the [[arms trade|trade in armaments]]. Labour stressed material factors that ignored the psychological memories of the [[Great War]] and the highly emotional tensions regarding nationalism and the boundaries of countries.  Nevertheless, [[Leader of the Labour Party (UK)|party leader]] [[Ramsay MacDonald]] devoted much of his attention to European policies.<ref>Henry R. Winkler.

===1930s===

{{Further| Appeasement| Neville Chamberlain's European Policy}}
[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-R69173, Münchener Abkommen, Staatschefs.jpg|thumb| Chamberlain, Daladier, Hitler, and Mussolini pictured before signing the 1938 [[Munich Agreement]], which gave the [[Sudetenland]] to Nazi Germany.]]
Vivid memories of the horrors and deaths of the First World War inclined many Britons—and their leaders in all parties—to pacifism in the interwar era. This led directly to the [[appeasement]] of dictators (notably of [[Benito Mussolini|Mussolini]] and of [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]) in order to avoid their threats of war.<ref>Patrick Finney, "The romance of decline: The historiography of appeasement and British national identity." ''Electronic Journal of International History'' 1 (2000). [http://sas-space.sas.ac.uk/3385/1/Journal_of_International_History_2000-06_Finney.pdf online] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180505065621/http://sas-space.sas.ac.uk/3385/1/Journal_of_International_History_2000-06_Finney.pdf |date=5 May 2018 }}</ref>

The challenge came from those dictators, first from [[Benito Mussolini]], [[Duce]] of [[Fascist Italy (1922–1943)|Italy]], then from [[Adolf Hitler]], [[Führer]] of a much more powerful [[Nazi Germany]]. The League of Nations proved disappointing to its supporters; it failed to resolve any of the threats posed by the dictators. British policy involved "appeasing" them in the hopes they would be satiated. By 1938 it was clear that war was looming, and that Germany had the world's most powerful military. The final act of appeasement came when Britain and France sacrificed [[Czechoslovakia]] to Hitler's demands at the [[Munich Agreement]] of September 1938.<ref>[[David Faber (politician)|David Faber]], ''Munich, 1938: Appeasement and World War II'' (2010)</ref> Instead of satiation, Hitler menaced Poland, and at last Prime Minister [[Neville Chamberlain]] dropped appeasement and stood firm in [[Anglo-Polish military alliance|promising to defend Poland]] (31 March 1939). Hitler however [[Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact|cut a deal]] with [[Joseph Stalin]] to divide Eastern Europe (23 August 1939); when Germany did invade Poland in September 1939, Britain and France declared war, and the British Commonwealth followed London's lead.<ref>Donald Cameron Watt, ''How War Came: Immediate Origins of the Second World War, 1938–39'' (1990)</ref>

===Second World War===
{{Further|Military history of the United Kingdom during World War II|Diplomatic history of World War II}}
Having signed the Anglo-Polish military alliance in August 1939, [[United Kingdom declaration of war on Germany (1939)|Britain and France declared war against Germany]] in September 1939 in response to Germany's invasion of Poland. This declaration included the [[Crown colony|Crown colonies]] and [[British Raj|India]], which Britain directly controlled. The dominions were independent in foreign policy, though all quickly entered the war against Germany. After the French defeat in June 1940, Britain and its empire stood alone in combat against Germany, until June 1941. The United States gave diplomatic, financial and material support, starting in 1940, especially through [[Lend Lease]], which began in 1941 and attain full strength during 1943. In August 1941, Churchill and Roosevelt met and agreed on the [[Atlantic Charter]], which proclaimed "the rights of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they live" should be respected. This wording was ambiguous and would be interpreted differently by the British, Americans, and nationalist movements.<ref>Keith Sainsbury, ''Churchill and Roosevelt at War: the war they fought and the peace they hoped to make'' (New York University Press, 1994).</ref>

Starting in December 1941, Japan overran [[British possessions]] in Asia, including [[British Hong Kong|Hong Kong]], [[British Malaya|Malaya]], and especially the key base at [[Battle of Singapore|Singapore]]. Japan then marched into [[British rule in Burma|Burma]], headed toward India. Churchill's reaction to the entry of the United States into the war was that Britain was now assured of victory and the future of the empire was safe, but the rapid defeats irreversibly harmed Britain's standing and prestige as an [[Imperialism|imperial power]]. The realisation that Britain could not defend them pushed Australia and New Zealand into permanent close ties with the United States.<ref>{{cite book|author=Alan Warren|title=Britain's Greatest Defeat: Singapore 1942|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zosKzAoocu8C&pg=PA295|year=2006|publisher=Continuum|page=295|isbn=9781852855970|access-date=15 June 2021|archive-date=4 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160604021629/https://books.google.com/books?id=zosKzAoocu8C&pg=PA295|url-status=live}}</ref>

Economically in dire straits in 1945 (saddled with debt and dealing with [[The Blitz|widespread destruction of its infrastructure]]), Britain systematically reduced its overseas commitments. It pursued an alternate role as an active participant in the [[Cold War]] against [[communism]], especially as a founding member of NATO in 1949.<ref>F.S. Northedge, ''Descent From Power British Foreign Policy 1945-1973'' (1974) [https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.117738 online]{{dead link|date=October 2020}}</ref>

The British had built up a very large worldwide Empire, which peaked in size in 1922, after more than half a century of unchallenged global supremacy. The cumulative costs of fighting two world wars, however, placed a heavy burden upon the home economy, and after 1945 the British Empire rapidly began to disintegrate, with all the major colonies gaining independence. By the mid-to-late 1950s, the UK's status as a superpower was gone in the face of the United States and the Soviet Union. Most former colonies joined the "Commonwealth of Nations", an organisation of fully independent nations now with equal status to the UK. However it attempted no major collective policies.<ref>Lawrence James, ''The Rise and Fall of the British Empire'' (2001)</ref><ref>Stephen Wall, ''A Stranger in Europe: Britain and the EU from Thatcher to Blair'' (2008)</ref> The last major colony, Hong Kong, was handed over to China in 1997.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2017-06-29|title=Hong Kong's handover explained|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-40426827|access-date=2020-05-18|archive-date=10 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200810223147/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-40426827|url-status=live}}</ref> Fourteen [[British Overseas Territories]] maintain a constitutional link to the UK, but are not part of the country per se.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2016-02-04|title=What's left of the British Empire (and how to see it)|language=en-GB|work=The Telegraph|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/galleries/What-are-the-14-British-Overseas-Territories-and-how-can-I-visit-them/|access-date=2020-05-18|issn=0307-1235|archive-date=29 June 2018|archive-url=https://archive.today/20180629143858/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/galleries/What-are-the-14-British-Overseas-Territories-and-how-can-I-visit-them/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Britain slashed its involvements in the [[Middle East]] after the humiliating [[Suez Crisis]] of 1956. However Britain did forge close military ties with the United States, France, and Germany, through the NATO military alliance. After years of debate (and rebuffs), Britain joined the [[European Economic Community|Common Market]] in 1973; which became the [[History of the European Union|European Union]] in 1993.<ref>Andrew Marr, ''A History of Modern Britain'' (2009)</ref> However it did not merge [[European Exchange Rate Mechanism|financially]], and kept the pound separate from the [[Euro]], which partly isolated it from the EU [[European sovereign debt crisis|financial crisis of 2011]].<ref>Stephen Wall, ''A Stranger in Europe: Britain and the EU from Thatcher to Blair'' (Oxford University Press, 2008)</ref> In June 2016, the UK [[2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum|voted to leave the EU]].<ref>Andrew Gamble,  "Better Off Out?

:Three key motifs of Tony Blair's 10-year premiership were an activist philosophy of 'interventionism', maintaining a strong alliance with the US and a commitment to placing Britain at the heart of Europe. While the 'special relationship' and the question of Britain's role in Europe have been central to British foreign policy since the Second World War...interventionism was a genuinely new element.

The GREAT campaign of 2012 was one of the most ambitious national promotion efforts ever undertaken by any major nation. It was scheduled take maximum advantage of the worldwide attention to the [[2012 Summer Olympics|Summer Olympics in London]].
