In 1984, the ANZUS (Australia, New Zealand, United States) security alliance experienced a major, defining crisis that ultimately led to the end of the trilateral alliance with New Zealand. This breakdown was primarily driven by New Zealand’s adoption of a nuclear-free policy, which conflicted with the U.S. “neither confirm nor deny” policy regarding nuclear-armed ships.
