US geopolitical imperatives for the Baltic region.

Abstract

The scientific article examines the geopolitical interests of the United States in the Baltic region. First of all, it is noted that the Baltic States stands out for its complex geopolitical character. The region in which the Baltic republics are located has become a training ground for a dangerous confrontation between the USSR and the USA. These republics were able to achieve more effective integration with European structures. This, first of all, is evidenced by two important facts. Since the Baltic republics in a short time were admitted to the European Union and NATO. This also indicates that Western structures attached great importance to this region. Especially the United States had clear geopolitical imperatives in the region.
