SEATO required a unanimous vote from all members, which it never recieved, for involvement in the Vietnam War. So, some of the countries that were part of SEATO participated in the war, on behalf of America's request.
No. Neither was NATO nor the UN. Very few nations wanted to get involved with the Vietnam War.
Other than some operations (military campaigns) the only war ever fought by the UN (discounting WWII...in which the term "UN" has been sometimes used) was the Korean War (1950-1953). NATO has been involved with numerous military "operations." But no major wars.
no, because the seato or watever is a lying dushbag
The U.S government decided to get involved in the Vietnam war because the believed after the cold war that communism was a very serious issue that must be adressed first hand.

Australia was part of the now-defunct Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) alliance (as was the US, the Republic of Vietnam, and others). That's the reason.

Vietnam war
Australia and South Vietnam were both members of the South East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) with an obligation to defend member states.
Somewhat democratic South Vietnam was a member of the South East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO), so by treaty, we were obligated to help defend South Vietnam. We entered the Vietnam War to help South Vietnam stop Communist North Vietnam from their attempts to unify the whole country.
