The spread of communism into Southeast Asia was opposed to maintain the balance of power.
The SEATO (Southeast Asia treaty organisation) alliance was created to communism from spreading any further into the south east of Asia and so we had a strond defence against an aggressive attacker
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (officially, the Southeast Asia Resolution, Public Law 88-408) .
During the Cold War the policy of the United States was one of containment of communism. China dominated Asia and it was a communist country. US policy was to try to contain the Chinese spread of communist doctrine in Southeast Asia. In Europe it was containment of Russian communist doctrine and to stop the Russians from attempting to enter Western Europe. It was felt if Russia would invade through Poland and enter central Germany in force. To some extent there is still a bit of that philosophy present in American foreign policy. It can be seen with the American reaction to the Russian take over of parts of the Ukraine. Today NATO is adding troops to Germany.
Rubber for factories in the United States historically depended on imports primarily from Southeast Asian countries, particularly Malaysia and Indonesia. During World War II, this dependency became critical as domestic production was insufficient to meet wartime needs. The U.S. also sourced rubber from Latin American countries, but Southeast Asia remained the dominant supplier until the development of synthetic rubber in the 1940s.
