The most important issue in Anglo-American diplomacy after Pearl Harbor was the formulation of a grand strategy. What were they?
【正确答案】：The two countries worked out a strategy of Europe first, that is, concentration of resources to defeat Germany first. The second issue was policy towards the Soviet Union. The two countries agreed that they should give the Soviet Union whatever support they could offer to keep it in the war. But after the Battle of Stalingrad, when it was clear that the Soviet Union was no longer in danger of being defeated, the two countries were more concerned about Soviet expansion. The postponement of the opening of the Second Front was a reflection of the desire not to give the Soviet Union the possibility of quick expansion. The third issue was the status of former colonies after the war. Here the two countries had very different views. The United States was eager to take away from France and Britain their former colonies and let them become independent states. In that way, it would be easier for the United States to influence these countries. Britain was particularly sensitive to American design and tried its best to protect its interests.
