All Things Korea plus SEATO sub tree
Hello Everyone this is the United Korea plus any sub tree ideas Part of the Infantry form here we talk about anything related to a possible Korea infantry tree (future or current) Have Fun!
With Korea not really being part of the game outside of a handful of export munitions this is to talk about the potential development of a Infantry tree for them as Korea is a popular topic for ground and air so why not infantry? There is a possibility of a sub tree which people can talk about so I will introduce you to SEATO a interesting cold war relic (Asian N.A.T.O.) that went defunct after the Vietnam war ended.
What was SEATO?
Southeast Asia Treaty Organization - Wikipedia
SEATO was a security / economic pact started in September 1954 in Manila, Philippines. The idea developed by the USA was to counter China and USSR in Asia by making a security pact. Unlike NATO which has the famous article 5 SEATO had no such thing as there nations where to agree to act against the common danger (basically act however you feel like). SEATO would be a corner stone to USA involvement in the Vietnam war as South Vietnam was a protocol state after the Vietnam War SEATO would collapse because it failed to do any of its goals.
South Korea though not a member they where pro SEATO and benefited from its existence they would also support SEATO operations in Vietnam. One of the geopolitical objectives of SEATO was to an extent get South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan linked but this never went anywhere. SEATO would fail due to its own contradictions.
Having a Partial SEATO sub tree (some nations are already sub tree in Japan) would also include North Vietnam / Socialist Republic of Vietnam as a sub tree to compliment there south Vietnam sub tree but also including the Philippines and others into the tree.
The Partial sub tree
- Vietnam (North / South & Post War)
- Cambodia
- Laos
- Philippines
Depend of era / discussion
- Australia / Papua New Guinea
- New Zealand
Concerning North Korea
North Korea has a highly advanced infantry connection with plentiful additions in the form of domestic weapons and imports just as there southern sister. North Korea was also important in the cold war sending support to North Vietnam in the form of weapons.
