Southeast Asia is a region of the world on the Asian landmass and nearby island nations in the Pacific Ocean. Different organizations define have different descriptions of its scope. Perhaps most definitive is membership of the key regional alliance, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
U.S. government documents, especially those from the Vietnam War, exclude some of these countries. Myanmar/Burma is placed in South Asia.
