From the beginning of the republic's founding, Turkey displayed impressive diplomatic prudence in maintaining strong relations with Europe's major powers. However, the end of the Second World War marked the beginning of a new chapter in Turkish foreign policy. In response to the fear of an ever-growing Soviet empire, Turkey searched for a reliable partner that could help it both financially and militarily. Unsurprisingly, it zeroed in on the US as a potential patron, and Turkish diplomats lobbied hard to build a stronger relationship with their American counterparts, a level of agency that is often glossed over in favor of a focus on superpower politics. Turkey was able to build a strong relationship with the US, as support for Turkey also served American interests. Outside of reinforcing his commitment to fighting communism, President Truman would go on to install the United States as the most influential Western power in the Middle East, replacing the hitherto hegemon, Britain. As I demonstrate in this dissertation, American aid to Turkey also foreshadowed what would soon become the Marshall Plan. The financial assistance offered immediate relief to Turkey's languishing economy, thereby helping Ankara redistribute resources to address security concerns and rebuild its infrastructure. However, the cash flow from the US led to unexpected consequences in Turkish politics and society. Some of those impacts came to manifest as early as 1953 when the Menderes government's fiscal mismanagement and its reliance on American relief brought the economy to the brink of collapse, which would finally occur a few years later. The relationship between Turkey and the US was thus a marriage of convenience, one that faded when an economically stable Turkey was no longer as apprehensive about its territorial integrity. It comes as no surprise then that Turkey and the United States do not see eye to eye lately. By critically analyzing the foundation of their bilateral relationship, my dissertation connects the strained relationship of the present with the one-track partnership of the past.

520 $a Cumhuriyetin kurulusundan sonra Turkiye, Avrupa'nin buyuk gucleriyle kuvvetli iliskileri surdurme konusunda etkileyici bir diplomatik sagduyu gostermisdi. Ancak Ikinci Dunya Savasinin sona ermesiyle Turk dis politikasinda yeni bir donem basladi. Surekli buyuyen bir Sovyet imparatorluguna karsilik olarak Turkiye, kendisine hem mali hem de askeri acidan yardimci olabilecek guvenilir bir ortak aramaya basladi ve potansiyel bir patron olarak ABD'ye odaklandi. Turk diplomatlar, Amerikali meslektaslariyla daha guclu bir iliski kurmak icin kuvvetli bir sekilde lobi yaptilar. Bu calisma, super guc siyasetine odaklanma lehine genellikle goz ardi edilen bir caba duzeyindeydi. Turkiye'ye verilen destek Amerika'nin cikarlarina da hizmet ettigi icin Turkiye ABD ile guclu bir iliski kurmayi basardi. Baskan Truman, komunizmle savasma taahhudunu pekistirmenin otesinde, Amerika Birlesik Devletleri'ni Ortadogu'daki en etkili Bati gucu olarak, simdiye kadarki hegemon Ingiltere'nin yerini alarak, kurmaya devam edecekti. Bu tezde gosterdigim gibi, Amerika'nin Turkiye'ye yaptigi yardim da yakinda Marshall Plani haline gelecekti. Mali yardim, Turkiye'nin zayiflayan ekonomisine aninda rahatlama sagladi ve boylece Ankara'nin guvenlik endiselerini gidermesi ve altyapisini yeniden insa etmek icin kaynaklarini uygun bir sekilde dagitmasina yardimci oldu. Ancak ABD'den gelen nakit akisi Turk siyasetinde ve toplumunda beklenmedik sonuclara da yol acti. Bu etkilerden bazilari 1953 yilinda Menderes hukumetinin Amerikan yardimina kati bir sekilde dayanmasi ve mali kotu yonetimi sonucunda ekonomik cokusun esigine getirmesine yol acti; bu da birkac yil sonra nihayet gerceklesecekdi. Ekonomik acidan istikrarini kaybetmeye baslayan bir Turkiye artik toprak butunlugu konusundada endiseli olmaya baslayinca Turkiye ile ABD arasindaki iliskinin solmaya baslayan bir kolaylik evliligi gibi oldugu ortaya cikti. Bu nedenle Turkiye ile ABD'nin son zamanlarda ayni fikirde olmamasi sasirtici degil. Ikili iliskilerinin temelini elestirel bir sekilde analiz ederek, tezim bugunun gergin iliskisini gecmisin tek yonlu ortakligi ile birlestiriyor.
