During the Cold War, the principle of the domino theory held much sway among anti-Communist nations, especially the United States. In 1965, this principle would force said nations into the Vietnam War. Alas, after 10 years and thousands of people dead, the United States would retreat from Vietnam, leaving the Communists to march into Saigon and reunify North and South Vietnam. The US's failure in Vietnam War also resulted in Laos and Cambodia turning to Communism.

However, this would be where the domino effect ended in our timeline. Southeast Asia never underwent a wave that turned the region into a Communist utopia like the US feared.

But, that is my challenge. In some way, alter history so that the domino effect sweeps not only over Indochina, but the rest of Southeast Asia such as the Philippines, Indonesia and maybe even Australia.
