Manifesto of the Laodong Party (Vietnam Worker’s Party), 1951*
The main task of the Viet Nam Laodong Party now is:

    War Comes to Long An Book Review

    The two main questions that the book answers are where did South Vietnam fail and where did the Vietcong succeed? The first can be answered by multiple reasons, according to Race. Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes that South Vietnam made was the over-centralization of the government. Saigon did attempt to meet the needs of the public. For instance, they did have in place a land redistribution plan for the peasants and misplaced citizens. However, many of the decisions made for the people were made at the national level, and did not always comply with their needs. Furthermore, many of these…

    Why Did the U.S Enter the Vietnam War

    Background: Much of Vietnam was occupied by France before ww2, but these French territories were lost during the War as the Japanese set up a puppet regime in this time. The French tried to regain their former territories around the Early 50s, but failed in their attempt as they were defeated by the Communist general Vo Nguyen Giap.…

    How far was the fighting of the Guerrilla force the most important reason why the US withdrew from Vietnam?

    During the Cold War between Russia and America in the years 1945 – 1991 another conflict between the communist North of Vietnam ruled by Ho Chi Minh and the anti-communist south ruled by Diem began in 1959. Ho chi minh supporters in the south known as the Vietcong began trying to overthrow Diem’s corrupt government. Diem asked America for help to defeat the Vietcong to which they were more than eager to help as if they were defeated this would mean another communist country would emerge which could lead to the domino theory. This was the theory that if one country feel under communism, all others around it would too. In 1976 America withdrew from the war in Vietnam. There are several factors that cause debate for why America withdrew from the war. These are the guerrilla tactics used by the Vietcong, the American tactics, failure by the Americans to win the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese peasants and public opinion of the war by American citizens. In this essay I aim to show why I believe the American tactics were the most important reason for why the US withdrew from Vietnam and I aim to demonstrate this by comparing these factors against each other and using the sources to help illustrate my points.…

    Nixon Administration Evaluation

    Ho Chi Minh responded by saying “the violation of our fundamental national rights still continues in South Vietnam” saying “Our Vietnamese people are deeply devoted to peace, a real peace with independence and real freedom, determined to fight to the end.” Ho Chi Minh sounds familiar to that of revolutionary America because when writing this letter he in fact used text from the Declaration of independance. Minh called out Nixon writing “You have expressed the desire to act for a just peace the U.S must cease war of aggression and withdraw troops. Respect the people to dispose of themselves without foreign influence” Minh wants his nation to be independent and safe without foreign intruders like the colonies with Britain. These letters of correspondence showed south vietnam’s unwillingness to cooperate with the Nixon administration. Although the United states had hurt many with its unsuccessful war, it was not until the Nixon…

    The U.S. Contained Communism in Vietnam

    In 1949, Mao Zedong led the Peoples Revolution, which established a Communist State in China. Communism has now been introduced to Asia. In this period, after World War II, Communism was a popular ideology being introduced throughout the world. Vietnam was one of the many countries under the threat of Communism. At this time, Vietnam was a French Colony. As time went on tension started to come between the French and the Vietnamese people. As tension increased so did the fighting between the French and The Vietnamese. Finally in 1954, The French decided that they could no longer withstand the revolts of the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese were now free of French rule. However, many problems still remained in Vietnam. After the war there was a conference to discuss the troubles in Vietnam and all of the other troubles in Asia. That conference was called the Geneva Conference. Vietnam sent two delegations to the conference. One of the delegations represented Viet Minh (which was Communist in their leanings) and the other represented Bao Dia's government, which was backed by the United States. Both claimed to represent all of Vietnam. At the conference there was a discussion about dividing Vietnam at the 17th parallel to solve the troubles between the two delegations. Now there were two Vietnams. One, in the north, was under Communist rule and the other, in the south, was not. While the Geneva Conference was being held, the United States was already concerned about Communism being spread. The United States then decided that the only way to solve the problems would be to contain Communism including in Vietnam.…

    Week One Assignment

    Studying the prior history of Vietnam is important because we learn that Vietnam was completely under French rule by 1893 (Week One Lecture, 2013). Why was Vietnam such a prized possession to have? Vietnam’s location was significant within itself; Vietnam had “a strategic location astride major shipping lanes linking India, China, Japan, and the islands of Southeast Asia” and served as a source of foodstuffs and raw materials (Moss, 2010, p.2). We must put ourselves in the shoes of the Vietnamese people during this time and view these events from their point-of-view also. There were territorial wars including France, Japan, and eventually the United States which all treated Vietnam and the Vietnamese people as nothing more than property that they wanted to gain and maintain control of. No respect or value of their culture was held by any of these countries, which served as another reason that Vietnam sought national identity and independence. Studying the context of the prior history of Vietnam and what the participants of this history valued helps understand the elements that led to the independence of Vietnam. All of the information needed to understand the decisions made and the actions taken by the Vietnamese people to fight for their independence is gained through studying the context of their prior history.…

    First They Killed My Father Analysis

    Confusion glided through me as I didn’t know that the Vietnamese ever went to war again after the Vietnam War. After my relatives elaborated on how catastrophic the war was on the citizens and the country itself, I assumed that Vietnam wouldn’t be ready to return to combat. Also, it was shocking that it only took two to three years for the country to stabilize and rebuild. However, what truly sparked this subject was when I remembered this reason: The Khmer Rouge received support by North Vietnam; the government which fought the Khmer Rouge a few years after the Cambodian Civil War. These components led me to have the ambition to analyze more on this…

In 1950s, Korea could survive based on U.S.A’s support, but when the international balance of payments and the budget deficit expanded, U.S.A had to announce to Korea that they will reduce the amounts of the support.
