The SEATO Treaty (South-East Asia Treaty Organisation) was signed in 1954
The SEATO (Southeast Asia Treaty Organisation) alliance was an alliance to sanction the U.S presence in Vietnam. The treaty was between the representatives of Australia, France, Great Britain, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, and the United States.
SEATO was actually formed around that time frame, and France was part of SEATO. SEATO was dissolved in about 1977 because France and Pakistan withdrew from SEATO. SEATO was formed to protect the free nations of South East Asia "Treaty Organization" from a communist attack. France had little to nothing to do with why and when SEATO was formed; communism had something to do with it.
Both were members of the South East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) - as was the Republic of South Vietnam.
To protect Southeast Asia in the event of attack...a counter-part to NATO which did the same thing for Europe.
