肯尼迪政府与《法德条约》的签订

The Kennedy Administration and the Signing of the Franco-German Treaty

肯尼迪政府的欧洲政策是构建美国领导下的"大西洋伙伴关系",以便让欧洲为美国的冷战战略服务。1963年1月连续发生的戴高乐记者招待会、《法德条约》签订和英国加入欧洲经济共同体失败,对这一政策形成重大冲击。为应对危机,美国选择德国为主要干涉对象,最终推动德国在批准《法德条约》时通过了加强大西洋联盟的序言。法德政治合作遭遇挫折,一方面因为美欧实力悬殊、德国不得不屈服于美国的压力,另一方面也与戴高乐的外交风格有关。

The Kennedy Administration＇s European Policy was to establish ＂the Atlantic Partnership＂ under the American leadership, which made Europe serve the U.S. Cold War strategy. There were a series of diplomatic events during January 1963, including de Gaulle＇ s press conference, the signing of Franco-German Treaty and the failure of U.K. to join the European Economic Community, serving both individually and jointly to deal a heavy blow to Kennedy＇s European Policy. Facing this crisis, the U.S. put pressure on the Federal Republic of Germany, and succeeded in forcing the latter to add a prologue-intended to reinforce the Atlantic Alliance-to the approved Franco-German Treaty. There were two main reasons for the setbacks in political cooperation between France and Germany. On the one hand, Europe as a whole was still no match for the U. S. , so Germans had to yield. On the other hand, it was a result of de Gaulle＇ s diplomatic style.
