Answer:
United States-led alliances around the world included NATO in Europe, SEATO in Southeast Asia, and CENTO in the Middle East.
Explanation:
-The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is an intergovernmental military alliance governed by the North Atlantic Treaty, signed on April 4, 1949. The organization constitutes a collective defense system, in which Member States agree to defend any of their members if they are attacked by an external power.
-The Southeast Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO) was a regional defense organization, in force from 1955 to 1977, consisting of Australia, France, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, Great Britain and the United States. It was founded as part of the Collective Defense Treaty of Southeast Asia, in order to protect the region of the USSR and China.
-The CENTO (Central Treaty Organization), also called the Baghdad Pact, was formed in 1955 by Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, the United Kingdom and Turkey.
Some considered the pact as a British attempt to preserve its influence in the Middle East in place of the loss of its empire in India. In 1958 the United States joined the military committee of the alliance. It is considered one of the least profitable alliances of the Cold War.
