Asian military alliances

Asian military alliances are agreements between countries in Asia to enhance security and defense cooperation. Notable examples include the U.S.-Japan Mutual Defense Pact, which obligates both nations to defend each other, and the Southeast Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO), aimed at preventing the spread of communism during the Cold War. More recently, partnerships like the Quad (involving the U.S., India, Japan, and Australia) focus on regional security and addressing common challenges, such as maritime security and terrorism. These alliances reflect strategic interests and help countries coordinate their military efforts and diplomacy in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.
