Well, SECAM cames from "Sequential a memory". The sistem is working almost as PAL, but the colour signals are brodcasted one after another (first time the red color signal, after that the green colour signal, and last the blue colour signal). In PAL and NTSC the color signals are broadcatsed in the same time.
The USSR and the majorty of Eastern Europe countries (except former Iugoslavya and ROMANIA, which used PAL), adopted the SECAM standard beceause they didn't want taht the Western tv sets to work in their countyes. But, I heard that the West-German colot tv sets could also work on SECAM (I knew a few pesrons that had color tv sets before 1983, and they watched Bulgarian color tv programs that where broadcasted in SECAM).
