Abstract
The thesis traces the diplomatic history of U. S.-
Yugoslav relations from the first United States interest in
the Tito-Mihailovic crisis during World War II, until the
United States agreed to contribute economic aid to Yugoslavia
in 1949. The periods covered include the gradual
movement of Yugoslavia from British sphere to American
sphere through American involvement in the Tito-Subasic
Agreement, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration, and the Yalta agreements. Following the end of World War II, diplomatic relations
cooled because of the Mihailovic and Stepinac trials,
the loss of two American aircraft over Yugoslavia, and the
Trieste clashes. When Tito broke with the Cominform in 1948, the
United States, it is proposed, developed a sound and lasting
policy of assistance toward Yugoslavia that continues
today. This policy has been the blueprint for America's
Eastern Europe position.
