英美“特殊关系”一词，最早是由英国前首相Winston Churchill 温斯顿 丘吉尔于
1946年提出的。1946年3月5日，丘吉尔在美国密苏里州的富尔敦市发表的“铁幕演说”
中说道：“从波罗的海的什切青到亚得里亚海边的的里雅斯特，一幅横贯欧洲大陆的铁
幕已经降落下来。在这条线的后面，有中欧和东欧古国的都城。华沙、柏林、布拉格、
维也纳、布达佩斯、贝尔格莱德、布加勒斯特和索菲亚——所有这些名城及其居民无一
不处在苏联的势力范围之内。。。”
富尔敦演说公开并明确的发出了冷战的信号，表明西方国家已经开始把苏联看成是最大
的威胁。而斯大林在3月13日的一次谈话中对此进行了回击，他说丘吉尔“是要在盟国
中散播纠纷的种子”，“是号召同苏联进行战争”。
冷战初期，由于文化、历史和军事安全利益上的相同点使得英美两国在二战时期建立的
“特殊关系”通过北大西洋公约组织的建立，以新的军事同盟的形式得以延续和发展。
