Imagine today, a military alliance between Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and the UK would still exist. It seems almost impossible.
a NATO alliance concept in the middle east will always strike me as hilarious, especially with britain being a member state.
UK in METO: Salaam, fellow muslims
There’s also SEATO, or the South East Asian Treaty Organization, which, looking back at it, was probably a bad idea to dissolve.
This is my first time hearing about this somewhat short-lived alliance (24 years is actually a lot longer than I would have expected). Thanks, History Matters!
The fact that there’s an entire military alliance that I’ve just now heard of for the first time reminds me of how much there still is to learn
As a Turk I've never heard of this alliance but if someone came to me and said "Menderes tried to make Middle Eastern NATO" I would definitely believe that
Imagine if this still existed today. How awkward would it be to have Pakistan and Iran in the same alliance or Turkey wanting to take power of it? Or worse: Turkey and Saudi Arabia. I never knew about this alliance before.
I thought this video was going to be about Harvey Weinstein.
If James Bissonnette ever leaves, History Matters will need to do an entire episode about it.
NO matter how short a video may be this is awesome for getting an early understanding of topics in history.
Any chance we can get videos on why the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) also failed and why the Northeast Asia Treaty Organization (NEATO) never got past the proposal stage?
Iraq: We are having a coup! Help us defeat it!
"We are committed to NATO, CENTO and SPOR-TOTO." a famous statement of the Turkish army
"To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best." ~ Darth Traya.
Never heard of this organization, thanks for teaching em something completely new, 🙂
One of the many examples that show how extraordinary the lasting cooperation within NATO is, and even more so the level of integration the EU achieved.
I feel like METO needs a Yes Minister style sitcom centered around it. It's really too perfect to pass it up I think.
The alliance fell apart before what could've arguably been its greatest moment: the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. As this video points out, the members dropped out because either their governments were overthrown, or the rest of the alliance would not support their conflict with a non-Soviet country. But if the Shah had remained in power in Iran, it's likely that they, Pakistan, and Turkey would've cooperated against the Soviets in Afghanistan, which would've been a regional threat even though that country wasn't a CENTO member. Pakistan did end up working coverly against the Soviets, alongside several other Muslim countries so it's not outside the realm of possibility.
