Europe came to the fore post-World War II as the product of a very interesting formation. We know that the U.S. hegemony took shape after the war. Accordingly, the U.K. withdrew behind the stage and left its place to the U.S. This switch is quite often evaluated incorrectly. The process in question is not the U.K.'s withdrawal from the history stage, but its aligning with the U.S., the true victor of the war – along with its dominions – and giving it prominence to replenish its decreased power.
