South East Asia Command

The South East Asia Command (SEAC) was a major Allied military headquarters during World War II, established in 1943 to coordinate efforts in the Southeast Asia region. Led initially by British and American officers, it managed military operations against Japanese forces across countries like India, Burma (Myanmar), Malaya, and Thailand. SEAC aimed to unify strategies among Allies, streamline logistics, and support combined military campaigns. It played a crucial role in turning the tide in Southeast Asia, contributing significantly to the eventual defeat of Japan in the Pacific theater.
