The war was named “The Seven Year War”. The seven year war changed the friendship between the mother country and the colonies. The change was especially in an ideological sense. The French and Indian War (1754-1763) altered the political, economical, and ideological relations between Britain and its American colonies.

Let’s go back to the Cold War, when tensions between NATO and the USSR where incredibly strong and the world was threatened by a nuclear-bomb war. During this period of time, the United States was part of a group of western allies called the NATO, which was supposedly interested only in winning the war against communism.

    Once the Cold War started, Truman was the president. He made his Truman doctrine to help influence the democracy. In other words, Truman’s choice to fight a limited war was not justified because the United States did not want South Korea to fall under communists rule and not lose against the Russian War. For example, in “Textbook A”, it illustrates that the American invaders were being more aggressive to the war because they wanted to destroy its infancy. Even though, the American invaders were carrying out their war project.…

    The amount of blood and tears shed for this country is ridiculous, considering how unnecessary most of it ended up being. The Vietnam War, which was the longest war since the Cold War, was a war between Southern Vietnam and Northern Vietnam in which the United States became involved in on South Vietnam’s side. It was originally fought because Vietnam wanted to declare its independence from France stating, “Vietnam has the right to be free and independent country and in fact is so already,” but the conflict quickly converted to a civil war between North and South Vietnam (Doc. 1- Declaration of Independence- Democratic Republic of Vietnam). The United States put themselves in the middle of it in hopes of preventing “the countries of Southeast Asia from passing into the communist orbit, and to assist them to develop the will and ability to resist communism from within and without and to contribute to the strengthening of the free world” (Doc 8- Policy Statement about American objectives in Southeast Asia). The Vietnam War only caused more problems for the U.S. and South Vietnam than should have happened though.…

    American Secretary of State John Foster Dulles often bragged about how nuclear brinkmanship by the United States finally brought the other side to agree to a negotiated settlement of the Korean War in July 1953. According to him it proved that the threat of massive retaliation or a "a bigger bang for a buck" could work. It is true that America let it slip that atomic weapons being placed in Okinawa, that Chiang Kai-shek was being permitted to attempt attacks on the Chinese mainland, and that Nehru was being told to issue the Chinese with an ultimatium.…

    It’s a cold morning on November 29,1952 as I’m woken up by the radio announcing that President- Elect Truman was going to fly to Korea. I thought to myself he must have a death wish and is already becoming president. The Koreans despise the united states so much right now. I wondered what gave him that this crazy idea to fly and try to make peace with the Koreans. Then I started to remember when Eisenhower basically challenged him to come up with a different way to solve the problem.…

    It doesn’t matter if the opponent is right or wrong, but if you are following these tactics, you will be successful. Ho Chi Minh and his communist following was ensuing power through authority and fear. Due to the fear he was possessing in many of the Vietnamese civilians, he was able to create unity for the goal sets he was trying to reach. His methods consisted of using fear over his people to squeeze out the product he desired. Once the people saw the product he achieved by communist ideals, Minh created a massive following of communist believers to ensure the continuation of reaching their goals and his regime. He established groups such as the NLF to spread his ideals and expand his following, but also to support all sections of his military. They believed that “as long as they did not lose, they won.” Americans on the other hand should have seen their defeat coming. Constantly reflecting on the Korean War as “learning our lesson,” we should have taken the French defeat in Dien Bien Phu as a warning. Americans entered the war, head first with no structure of unity, goal sets, or ideals. Events such as the Tet Offensive had not only initiated a new phase of the war but also showed us that our unity was weak. The US, if unified would have been smarter to not abandon all their cities and create opportunity for the NLF and Vietcong to strike. We would have communicated and…
