ABSTRACT

US–Turkish relations were marked by the primacy of military actors during the Cold War. This is considered to be the consequence of the so-called special relationship between the US and Turkish militaries based on mutual trust. However, historical record suggests that the two militaries clashed over a number of institutional, strategic and cultural matters from the onset. The US military assistance did not result in Turkish military’s transformation along the US military system. Nevertheless, it precipitated a long overdue generational change within a decade. The US-trained young officers purged the Prussian/German–trained old guard from the ranks.

摘要

美土关系的特点是冷战期间军事行动者的首要地位。这被认为是美土两军建立在互信基础上的所谓特殊关系的结果。然而，历史记录表明，两军从一开始就在一些制度、战略和文化问题上发生冲突。美国的军事援助并未导致土耳其军队沿美国军事体系进行转型。然而，它在十年内促成了一场早该发生的代际变化。受过美国训练的年轻军官从队伍中清除了受过普鲁士/德国训练的老警卫。
