چکیده:
The study of security relations between Europe and the United States of America, especially since the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union until now, is the focus of this research. The author has attempted to show that European-American security relations, starting from an era of Europe's absolute dependence on Washington, have gradually transformed into strategic mutual cooperation with the expansion of the European Union and NATO. In this way, both the United States and the European Union seek to pursue their own specific interests and goals within the framework of bilateral cooperation, despite some differences. On the other hand, Europe seeks to shape its defense and security structure independently of the United States and more within the framework of NATO, which has led to the strengthening of defense pacts among Western European countries. It appears that Europe is seeking to play an equal role to the United States and utilizes NATO as its powerful military arm to achieve this goal. In fact, by developing its relations with NATO, the European Union seeks to demonstrate Europe's capabilities in crisis management and thereby make itself independent of the facilities and capabilities of the United States.

France also emphasized achieving a European defense identity and was striving to transform the European Western Union into the main structure European supranationality in defense affairs, the ambiguity of the political outlook of the European continent, the security vacuum existing in Eastern European Russia, the heavy military cost of Europe's direct participation in defending the continent's security, and the absolute superiority and influence of the United States in the North Atlantic area and global polarizations were other reasons for the reluctance of many Europeans toward the fading of Washington's security commitments in Europe.
16 During the NATO ministerial meeting in Berlin in 1991, which was a kind of return to the main points of the European defense and security identity; the efforts of Britain resulted in: In Berlin, two agreements were made; first, that the United States committed to providing real support for European military capabilities, in which relation the concept of joint task forces and other concepts were raised; second, France committed to fully joining this restructured Union.
This duality manifested itself most clearly in US foreign policy and in the defense and security discussions of the Europeans: Europe's capability should be sufficient to take on more responsibilities within NATO, but at the same time, it should not be to the extent that it leads to a strategic separation from the United States.
