Asian Alliance

== History ==
The Asian Alliance was a Alliance led by Pigio of Thailand. It was a defensive alliance that in the event of attack upon one of the member countries would see all fellow alliance members defend.
It was created after the 2nd Battle of Sorong in which the Empire of the Sea rejected Japanese Vassalage, Thailand allied with Malaya as anti-Japanese, and the Caspian States supported Malaya in the Battle.
It was suppose to be a defensive alliance between some minor Asian powers.
The idea was highly aimed at stopping Japanese aggression, for the environment caused by the Battle of Sorong was one of intense fear among the lesser-nations of Southeast Asia. They each had different reasons for joining.
* Thailand was never powerful and always supported Malaysia, however they were fearful because they were small yet outspoken.
* Capsian States relied on outposts in the region to project influence, by mainly Alanian Sabah but also the Alanian Pacific Islands and to a lesser extent, Alanian Rangoon. Since they were weak and strategically positioned (Sabah being directly in the path of the Japanese while the Pacific Islands were coveted by both Spain and Japan) an alliance with local powers was logical.
* Empire Of The Sea was in shock from their former master's brutality, especially their greifing, and made a major change in diplomatic strategy, away from being a vassal of either Germany or Japan and towards an independent existence. This was their first thrust in that direction.
=== 1st sign of Failure ===
Soon after created the Empire of the Sea called upon the allies to defend Sorong against Japan (During a Battle of Sorong) and called for retaliatory measures to be taken. The Caspian States refused to get involved as the alliance was defensive and Empire of the Sea did the mission alone with Thailand absent.
=== 2nd sign of Failure ===
Later more trouble arose when Thailand (closely aligned with Malaya) and the Empire of the Sea (by now a Japanese Vassal) were on opposing sides during a battle at Sorong.
=== Effective End ===
Since that time there has been no action undertaken by the Asian Alliance, and it is effectively inactive and nonexistent. Thailand was pulled closer to the Japanese Sphere and became semi-inactive, the Empire of the Sea renamed first to Oceania, and many other name changes, and wavered between being a vassal of either Germany or Japan or independence. The Caspian States never partook in any Asian Alliance actions, choosing its foreign policy separate from the alliance based on neutrality, and started withdrawing diplomatically from any engagements in Southeast Asia. All allies has effectively ceased to work united, although the alliance was never used in the way it was intended.
However, the Malayan Pact brought these same ideas to the forefront in an expanded fashion, effectively a re-strengthened and more effective version of the Asian Alliance.Category:Treaties and alliances
