The Vietnam War was a product of the rivalry between the US and the Soviet Union. It was part of the reasoning behind the construction of NATO and SEATO, both of which were created in fear of spreading communism ideals.

What Armies were used in the cold war?

Other than the "hot battles" of the cold war; Korea & Vietnam, no armies were used during the cold war. If any armies had been used...there would not have been a cold war! It would have been World War III. The standard "standing armies" (armies that existed but were never used) were the NATO (and the short lived SEATO) and Warsaw Pact armies. The Warsaw Pact armies were the USSR's version of the free world's NATO armies. Another words, had there been a war (instead of a cold war); NATO would have fought the Warsaw Pact armies.


How was seato similar to and different from NATO?

SEATO (Southeast Asia Treaty Organization) and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) were both military alliances formed during the Cold War to counter perceived threats from communism. Similar to NATO, SEATO aimed to provide collective defense among member nations, but it was primarily focused on Southeast Asia rather than Europe. Unlike NATO, which has a well-defined structure and a strong political and military framework, SEATO faced challenges due to its lack of cohesion among members and the absence of a mutual defense clause that was effectively invoked. Additionally, SEATO's membership included countries with varying degrees of commitment to collective action, leading to its eventual decline and dissolution in 1977.
