Any information about how the U.S. and southeast asia are related historically?

Question

any websites that are good this.

Answer 1

Aside from any war since before WWII i.e. WWII, Korea, Viet Nam........any history that we share with Southeast Asia, excluding the Phillipines, is virtually non-existent.

The only issues, with the possible exception of the Boxer Rebellion, was limited to trade issues.

Answer 2

At the end of Spanish American war in the late 1800s, of which Spain lost, the Philippines in South East Asia, together with Guam in the Pacific, Cuba and Puerto Rico in Latin America, were annexed to the United States of America. They all share a history which continuous up until today.

I suggest that you google Spanish American war or the Philippine / Guam history. They will tell you more information about the presence of the United States in South East Asia.

Vietnam War, Korean war and more recently Afghanistan and Iraq, are involvements where American military took active involvement in the name of democracy.

Answer 3

The Republic of the Philippines, a south east asian country , was a former colony of the United States They were also involved in the Vietnam war with bases in thailand, the philippines and Vietnam itself. . Korean war does ot count as Korea is not in south east asia.

Answer 4

Well, they were in Vietnam, they were in various south pacific islands in World War II, and we owned the Phillipines and Guam.
