Abstract
The research deals with (Britain's role in the process of establishing NATO and its position on the accession of Italy and its military role. After the outbreak of the Cold War, Britain worked with all its efforts to maintain its security and preserve its position as a global power, and for that it began working to link the largest number of countries with a military defense treaty to confront the Soviet expansion and to ensure that the United States of America to be at its side in the alliance, and gave a geographical dimension to that alliance at the beginning of circulating its idea to include the countries in the North Atlantic on both coasts. Indeed, Britain managed to convince the majority of those countries with the idea of the alliance, and because of the nature of the peace treaty between the allies and Italy, which militarily restricted the Italian side, Britain opposed Italy's accession to the alliance in addition to not being in the North Atlantic, but the American and French insistence made it agree because its biggest goal was to sign the alliance, and after a number of talks in the American capital Washington, the alliance was signed on 4 April 1949.
NATO countries continued arrangements for the formation of military committees after the signing, and Britain has contributed to the marginalization of the Italian role in the military committees, which contributed to the deterioration of Italian-British relations.
