Answer:

The short-term division of Korea along the 38th parallel was a great success for the policy of containment, as communism did not spread into South Korea. In 1954, SEATO (South East Asian Treaty Organisation) was structured as a copy of NATO. Communism had been avoided in South Korea and the UN was seen as a great success.
