Franco-british Relations




Anglo-French relations describes relations between the governments of France and the UK . The designation "anglo" specifically refers to England , not the UK, however, modern intergovernmental relations between these two nations are habitually called Anglo-French relations, and understood to refer to the UK and not England. The term '''Franco-British relations''' is also used.

France and the UK (and prior to the formation of the UK, Great Britain, Scotland and England) have had a long and varied history together from the Norman Conquest up to the present day.

As Of 2006 relations are cordial and cooperative, although there is still an edge of warieness on both sides, both due to historic differences, and to more recent disagreements between the current leaders of the two countries, Jacques Chirac and Tony Blair . ( Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state of the UK, but government relations with France are headed by the prime minister)
