To understand the logic of Atlanticism, including modern Atlanticism, it is sufficient to consider an illustrative example: the events of the 1830s. From 1830 to 1841 the levers of world Atlanticism were actually in the hands of Palmerston, who had the nickname Palm (PAM) - the Pan-Atlantic Wizard. Being formally only a foreign minister under the false prime ministers Gray and Melbourne (an Australian man and city), Palmerston actually determined the entire British geopolitics during these 11 years (excluding a very brief hiatus in 1834-35, when King William IV appointed for the last time in history a prime minister, namely Wellington, against the will of Parliament, but Palmerston again did his own thing and put the king under his belt).

The Council of Foreign Relations, the “miracle weapon” of Atlantic geopolitics

Two extreme views on the driving forces of history have long existed. The first is that history is subject to strict objective laws, which depend little on the will of kings, presidents and, a fortiori, mere mortals. The only thing that can be done is to learn the laws so that, by grasping the meanings and trends, one can help history do its work as efficiently and painlessly as possible. This view has been most consistently embodied by historical materialism.
