England is hurt by America's 'isolationism' in the 1920s and 1930s, and thinks America is no longer interested in him. England is especially disappointed with America's lack of support for him against Hitler. E.g. in a Gallup Poll in 1939, 83% Americans voted 'no' in response to whether America should help England (and France) in a war against Germany and Italy.
Alfred, despite his people's feelings, is actually still in love with England, and sets out to rectify his personal relationship with Arthur, trying to make it clear that he still deeply cares for Arthur although he can't do anything to break out of government's policy of isolationism. Angsty, but ends in understanding, make up sex please?
