ANZUS A defensive military alliance concluded in 1951 by Australia, New Zealand, and the US. It served to reassure Australia and New Zealand against the double threat of US-sponsored Japanese rearmament, on the one hand, and the spread of Communism in Asia as manifested in Mao's victory in China and in the outbreak of the Korean War, on the other. The military alliance with the USA was a consequence of the British defeat at Singapore in 1942, which had shown that Britain could no longer guarantee the defence of her former Empire. The alliance was effectively ended in 1984, when New Zealand refused nuclear vessels from the USA and elsewhere entry to its ports.
