Asean
Did you know Aseaners?
The term "South-East Asia" was first used in connection with the present region by American priest and educator Howard Malcom in 1837, the region presently referred to as Southeast Asia was split between India and the Far East by anglophone scholars prior to the Second World War and de-emphasized as an area of study due to the presence of national interests in the region.
Initial inquiries into the culture and traditions of South-East Asia were primarily conducted by German and Austrian scholars who had greater access to the region because their home countries had no colonies in the region. The strategic importance of numerous locales in South-East Asia such as the Dutch East Indies, Malaya and the Philippines during the Second World War attracted increased attention from the West.
This new found attention led to the establishment of Mountbatten's South-East Asia Commant(SEAC) in 1943, and the publication of the first map of Southeast Asia by the National Geographic society in 1944.
