I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the purpose of SEATO?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Ambrose argues that Eisenhower, by not participating in the Geneva agreement, had kept the U.S out of Vietnam; nevertheless, with the formation of SEATO, he had in the end put the U.S. back into the conflict.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
