During the two World Wars,the United States deployed large-scale military bases in Europe,and the United States military base system in Europe was formed.During the Cold War,the US military base in Europe reached the peak of its base deployment in Europe.After the Cold War,the United States began to optimize the structure and network of military bases in Europe,the adjustment mainly includes three aspects: continuous reduction,adjustment from west to East and application of Lily Bases.This series of adjustments reflects the profound changes in the relations between the United States and Europe.Starting from the connotation,types and functions of overseas military bases,this paper discusses the causes of the US military bases in Europe,the adjustment after the Cold War and its impact on US-EU relations.This paper argues that the adjustment of US military bases in Europe is mainly influenced by four aspects: US policy and global strategy towards Europe,emergencies,roles and missions,military expenditure and economic situation.The U.S.military base in Europe is an important tool to safeguard U.S.interests in Europe.It not only embodies the responsibility of the U.S.to protect the security of European countries,but also plays a role of restraining allies,thus helping the U.S.maintain its leadership in Europe.
