    The motives causing the Vietnam War were the same as the motives that caused the Korean War. The Northern half of Vietnam, separated at the 17th parallel, wanted to unify Vietnam as a socialist country. The North was also allied with the Soviet Union. The Southern half of Vietnam was a non-communist. The United States involvement was from sending troops into Vietnam for supervision of the Soviet-Union’s ally. This war was lost by the United States because of the poor judgments made by the press on portraying the war to the people in America causing a lack of support for the war.…

    The Vietcong fought a Guerrilla war. Using “Non-explosive land mines” to defeat their enemy: examples being deploying Booby-traps, ambushing American patrols or planting bombs. Booby-traps and tunnels were two essential methods regarding the engagement of Vietcong and American soldiers in Vietnam. Booby-traps were placed all over the Vietnamese jungle, in irregular locations thus making many soldiers feel anxious and fearful. Examples of this would be the Side Closing Panji, A spike board, the Grenade Trap and the Door Trap. Tunnels however were built primarily to help the “poorly equipped Peasant Army” against “High tech” France during their colonising years’. After Vietnam’s success, they were endured and eventually used again to fight the Americans from 1955. However In my opinion I believe the simplicity of the traps in which made by the Vietcong was undoubtedly the key factor regarding their triumph over America.…

    The Vietnam War was the longest ,and most unpopular war in history and is also called the cold war. Vietnam War was a long, costly armed conflict that pitted the communist regime of North Vietnam and its southern allies, known as the Viet Cong, against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. The war began in after the rise to power of Ho Chi Minh and his communist Viet Minh party in North Vietnam, and continued against the backdrop of an intense Cold War between two global superpowers: the United States and the Soviet Union. More than 3 million people including 58,000 Americans were killed in the Vietnam War; more than half were Vietnamese civilians. By 1969, at the peak of U.S. involvement in the war, more than 500,000 U.S. military personnel were involved in the Vietnam conflict. Growing opposition to the war in the United States led to bitter divisions among Americans, both before and after President Richard Nixon ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1973. In 1975, communist forces seized control of Saigon, ending the Vietnam War, and the country was unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam the following year. America wanted to get involved in the Vietnam situation as early as the 1940s, under the cover of stopping the spread of communism. The US, an Imperialist country was actually trying to protect the interests of another Imperialist country, France, after a pro-communist government led by Ho Chi Minn jeopardized French control.President Eisenhower had been sending aid to South Vietnam and helped them to create the Army Republic of Vietnam (ARVN). This would hopefully help stop the communist North Vietnamese from taking over. Despite American financial aid, South Vietnam was still being defeated and needed serious intervention from the U.S. With the Cold War, the United States had vowed to keep communism from spreading. President Truman stated that any nation challenged by Communism would receive aid from the United States. The…

    Vietnam War

    The United States got involved with the fight in Vietnam mostly as a result of three things: Eisenhower believed in what’s known as the domino theory, which is the belief that if one country in southeast Asia gave into communism more and more would start to follow suit, just like falling dominoes. Eisenhower said in his speech “This would lead to disintegration in Southeast Asia, with the "loss of Indochina, of Burma, of Thailand, of the Peninsula, and Indonesia following” (http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/eisenhower-gives-famous-domino-theory-speech). This was then his excuse to send soldiers in to aid South Vietnam. Later during Nixon’s administration the North Vietnamese began bombarding the south with a series of surprise attacks in what’s known as the Tet Offensive. “It was considered to be a turning point in the Vietnam War” (http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1862.html). In reaction to this Nixon authorized “vietnamization,” which was a plan to help build up the South Vietnamese army, and prepare them for taking on the North “in order to facilitate a gradual withdrawal of U.S. troops” (http://www.history.com/topics/vietnamization). And finally, during LBJ’s presidency the U.S. began to actually fight in the war because it was believed that the Vietnamese attacked one of our ships while we were patrolling in the Tonkin Gulf, setting forth the Tonkin Gulf Resolution that the congress passed, giving Johnson the authority to do whatever he though necessary to stop the Vietnamese.…

    Vietnam War

    The Vietnam War throughout history has been debated as whether or not it was a necessary war. Some say the war is considered necessary because President Truman was simply trying to help stop the increase of communism in Southeast Asia so that communism wouldn’t spread to other nations. While others say the war was unnecessary because it was the first war the United States lost. In the text, Major Problems of American History, it was stated that people even consider America’s involvement in the Vietnam War its greatest failure as a nation (Hoffman 427). There will be many thoughts and ideas about whether the Vietnam War was considered necessary and no one will truly ever have the same answer. However, I believe the Vietnam War fueled violent antiwar movements and brought two presidents to shame, which makes for an unnecessary war.…
