SATO was formed as a counter to rising communist influence in Southeast Asia. The Strait of Malacca, between Indonesia and Malaysia, is one of the United States' most important trade routes for international commerce. If the Strait fell under communist rule, commerce for the US, Australia, Japan, and the Philipines would be threatened. This formed the basis for Eisenhower's formation of SATO.
