Abstract: This article examines the erosion of European sovereignty due to growing U.S. influence, particularly in military, economic, and strategic spheres. It traces American involvement in shaping the European project from its inception, focusing on NATO's role as a tool for U.S. power projection and the weakening of European defense autonomy through military dependence on American technology. The article also explores how sanctions on Russia, the energy crisis, and Europe's alignment with U.S. policies limit its strategic autonomy in the context of rising global powers like the BRICS. The analysis is supported by historical and contemporary data, highlighting the challenges Europe faces in regaining sovereignty in an increasingly multipolar world.
