Which European country does America have the closest ties?

[QUOTE="VendettaRed07"]

[QUOTE="Former_Slacker"]

The UK, and how different is british culture from american culture by the way?

SideSwipes

UK has much MUCH cleaner public bathrooms and facilities etc. They are pretty much uniformally liberal while america is just all over the place with the middle of the country and the coasts bickering all the time. And Britian seems to have higher standards of what makes it onto the radio in terms of music while we play any pop crap that we can find.

America is also much more acceptable of violence in TV, games, the media etc. but are horrified about nudity, And they are more open about nudity but seem to be horrified about violence. Or atleast thats what it seems like to me. And thats pretty much it lol, Honestly UK could pass off as just another US state because our culture varies a ton depending on where you live because its such a big country

Everything from that point onwards was completely wrong.

You can't be very interested in diplomacy if you weren't aware that the UK is the country that we have the closest ties with period. Even if you knew nothing of politics the fact that the UK is the only English speaking country in Europe should have been a hint that we probably have more in common with them than, say, France or Germany.gameguy6700

u forgot about ireland and scotland :D

i think its france is ameica's longest ally

I thought Canada. The two countries are more closely tied than anything else.F1_2004

The UK... and Ireland.

The UK, but that is only because of archaic WWII butt-kissing politics.

[QUOTE="CannedWorms"][QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"] Really?grape_of_wrath

The UK... and Ireland.

it be texas

The UK, although Holland is generally considered the most Americanised country of the European mainland, unfortunately.

[QUOTE="sonicare"]

The UK. Although, despite what some people may say currently, the US and France have also had an unique and close relationship.

Can you elaborate on that US and France relationship?

I pretty sure its England.

We've had close ties with them since our independence from England.sonicare

They did sell us Louisiana,help us win against the British and built the Statue of Liberty just off the top of my head.

Yeah,but relations with the British have been much more stable. Americans identify with British culture much easier than French culture. It could be argued that the alliance between France and America is the longest lasting,but as two societies we are pretty far apart.

The UK. After all, the Americans originated from them.

Not that I'm Irish, but I would have have thought they'd be fairly close politically, borne out of their close ancestral tie... Ah well I could be wrong.

Indeed they were, they had tons of colonies prior to the end of WWII. Not to mention they had some of the largest ones. But then, almost all countries in Europe had colonies all around the world.

The U.K., easily.

UK obviously. Definitely not Germany or Russia though.. no one trusts those guys.

Don't forget that the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French people...Most americans don't seem to know that, since you're allways making fun of the french (I'm not one myself)

I think thats pretty good for being here once. Yes, more liberal in comparison with the US. More accepting of nudity than the US on TV. Pop crap is played everywhere unfortunately, public bathrooms can be dire and I think we don't mind violence at all in movies, tv etc.

England isn't a country. It's called the United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northern Ireland for a reason. Great Britian being composed of England, Scotland and Wales.

I learnt it from that film with Nicolas CageOverlord93

National Treasure: Reteaching Trivia Facts to the Youth Who Have Forgotten Them

(Although they probably should've taught Nicolas Cage how to comb his hair while they were at it... :P )

Is it because that phony english accent they constantly talk in?Daavpuke

Actually, most Dutch people either talk in a very bad Dutch accent, or try to mimmick Americans by saying'like' three times per sentence.

England. British people are cool
