    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 Vietnam war brought many changes to the United States in the 1960’s and the 1970’s. Some of the changes were for the better of the country, take the rediscovered Women’s Rights movements and the ever growing Free Speech movements inspired by New Left, while most of the other changes brought on tensions between government and their people. The Domino Theory pushed our leaders to the edge. In order to stop the Domino Theory in Vietnam, the U.S. invaded. The war was useless for the American government to get involved with. Even Robert Kennedy described our presence in Vietnam as ‘... sending a lion to halt an epidemic of jungle rot.’ (Doc E) From new groups forming to rebel, to inflation and loss of trust in the Government, from 1960’s to the 1970’s the Vietnam War heightened social, political and economic tensions in the United States.…

    In this paper it will explore lessons learned when dealing with diplomatic negotiations, presidential leadership, and cultural/social contexts. During the Vietnam War the United States did not realize the high level of intelligence that the Vietnamese people had and how much their culture and nationalism meant to them. They did not want the United States interfering with their country but some of the leaders in charge felt that the United States could help since they were offering monies and military advisors in regard to the conflicts between North and South Vietnam.…

    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.…
