South-East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO). A US-led security pact designed to contain communism in south-east Asia to North Vietnam. Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Pakistan, and Thailand were the other signatories of the founding treaty of Manila (September 1954).
SEATO never developed a NATO-style integrated command structure, and the fight against communism was carried out by the USA (culminating in the Vietnam War disaster) rather than SEATO, which was officially disbanded in 1977.
