The United States together with its allies has created the balance of powers accordingly to its interests, the US supremacy in Europe after World War 2 took place largely due to the Europeans’ wishes. Thanks to the North Atlantic Alliance the Americans could intervene in European countries’ inner affairs and use NATO as an instrument to carry out its own interests. In the situation of the “old order” collapse built during the Cold War and superpowers rivalry the Unites States, by modifying the role of NATO, tended to take part in creating a “new order” in Europe and maintain the US leading role on the Old Continent. The US, calling for free and undivided Europe, linked the Central European countries with the US interests. However, the USA tried to use the European Union’s new ambitions to create New Atlantism due to its strategic interests, keeping the "world role” of its armed forces. The NATO inner transformation process in the new international situation serves maintaining American influences in NATO and in future to favour US global interests. NATO enlargement allows the USA to maintain its influences in Europe and guarantees that future European Union members will also be faithful US allies.
