Is America's alliance system so quietly effective that politicians and voters fail to appreciate its importance in delivering the security they take for granted?For the first century and a half of its existence, the United States had just one alliance--a valuable but highly controversial military arrangement with France. Then everything suddenly changed. Largely out of deference to George Washington's warnings against the dangers of "entangling alliances," subsequent American presidents did not consider entering another until the Second World War.

Between 1948 and 1955, US leaders extended defensive security guarantees to twenty-three countries in Europe and Asia.
