Considerable progress has been made in the current decade with the help of N-body simulations towards a deeper understanding of the nature of the dynamical relationship between the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and the Galaxy. The origin of such features as the Magellanic Stream, the inter-Cloud Bridge, the Wing and large extension in depth of the SMC has come to be interpreted in the context of the tidal interactions among the members of the LMC-SMC-Galaxy triple system. The inclusion of gas-dynamical effects and star formation in the latest models has added further refinements to this picture and confirmed the enhancement of the star formation rate in the SMC as a result of the recent LMC-SMC encounter.
