The first major military alliance of the post-Cold War era
First, we need to know that, “military alliance” between countries are rarely established. Military alliance for the country put a lot of restrictions on them. And the less counties in the alliance, the closer relationship. Once the military alliance is formed, it always means, they have a target – They feel the crisis is coming. This time, their target is clear – China.
In the past, There are four major Asia-Pacific alliances: U.S.-Japan, U.S.-Korea, U.S.-Philippines, and U.S.-Australia. All of the above were alliances during the Cold War.
