• John Foster Dulles created the CENTO treaty and MAP to provide a southern bulwark to Soviet expansion. This funneled aid to Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and the UK was a signatory of the treaty but not part of this MAP. Hoopes. The Limits of Intervention. Page 39 - 40.

• Russia starts aid to Egypt, Syria, and Yemen, in 1955. Hoopes. The Limits of Intervention. Page 40.

• Pakistan took our military assistance but used it with India as the focus of their preparedness. The US did not see India as a threat and we meant the aid to be focused on the USSR. Hoopes. The Limits of Intervention. Page 40.

• In response to the indo/China border dispute of 1962 where China threatened force the US began to give military assistance to the Indians. Hoopes. The Limits of Intervention. Page 41.

• In response to our aid to India, Pakistan turns to Red China for military aid. Hoopes. The Limits of Intervention. Page 42.

• The 1965 India Pakistan War.
  Pakistan sent thousands of troops into the Indian state of Kashmir to use terrorism to create world attention on the Kashmir situation. Instead of treating the incursion as a native uprising the Indians invaded Pakistan to cut off the Pakistan troops. Pakistan in turn invaded Kashmir and tried to cut the one major supply line to the Indian troops at the front. India countered by invading in force at Lahore and Pakistan crumbled. The Indian strength and resolve was a surprise especially to the Pakistani army. Johnson cut US aid to both sides. Hoopes. The Limits of Intervention. Page 42.
