In the first 5-10 years after World War II the technique that came to be called ``radio astronomy," mostly conducted by radio physicists and engineers (who came to be called ``radio astronomers") had a problematic relationship with the existing astronomy community (who eventually came to be called ``optical astronomers"). This talk will examine how this relationship evolved over the postwar decade, and how it varied in the leading nations. By the mid-1950s it was clear that radio astronomy would not be a separate discipline, but rather a new technique within the discipline of astronomy.
