Three Western powers-the United States, France, and the United Kingdom-were original members of SEATO, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. Why would those powers have joined a mutual defense organization in Southeast Asia?

All three nations were asked to become members by weaker Asian nations.
All three nations wanted to contain the spread of communism in the region.
All three nations had established colonies in the region.
All three nations wanted land and ports for military bases in the region.

Are you sure? Because I got it from a reliable and trusted site called Quizlet. They never lie and never be wrong.

The purpose of the organization was to prevent communism from gaining ground in the region. Although called the “Southeast Asia Treaty Organization,” only two Southeast Asian countries became members. The Philippines joined in part because of its close ties with the United States and in part out of concern over the nascent communist insurgency threatening its own government. Thailand, similarly, joined after learning of a newly established “Thai Autonomous Region” in Yunnan Province in South China, expressing concern about the potential for Chinese communist subversion on its own soil.
