Question

Which of the following statement is wrong?

The following statements describe the features of military alliances formed by the superpowers.

Options

  • Member countries of the alliance are to provide bases in their respective lands for superpowers.

  • Member countries support the superpower both in terms of ideology and military strategy.

  • When a nation attacks any member country, it is considered an attack on all the member countries.

  • Superpowers assist all the member countries to develop their own nuclear weapons.

MCQ

Solution

Superpowers assist all the member countries to develop their own nuclear weapons.

Explanation:

Military alliances are similar to collective security systems but have different characteristics. The difference was explained in an early 1950s memorandum from the US Department of State, which stated that historically, alliances "were designed to advance the respective nationalistic interests of the parties, and provided for joint military action if one of the parties in pursuit of such objectives became involved in the war." A collective security arrangement "is not directed against anyone; it is solely directed against aggression." It seeks to strengthen the 'balance of principle' rather than to influence any shifting 'balance of power.'
