To stop the spread of communism.
The United States became involved in Vietnam because they wanted to stop communism from happening in that part of Asia.
The Vietnam conflict was a type of proxy war, in that our Cold War foe, Russia, heavily subsidized Communist North Vietnam in their fight with U.S. forces.
to stop communism
The US became involved in the Vietnam War in an attempt to stop the spread of Communism. The US worried that if South Vietnam fell, it would create a domino effect. The war lasted from 1955 to 1975.
Vietnam become a single communist nation through the leadership and influence of Ho Chi Minh . He embraced communism and he got support from China and Soviet Union to fight the French regime.
Some went in to fight communism, others were drafted and had no choice. Most were drafted by 1968.
The U.S. became involved in Vietnam to contain the spread of communism during the Cold War. It viewed Vietnam as a strategic location in Southeast Asia and sought to prevent the domino effect of one country falling to communism leading to others doing the same. Additionally, the U.S. had a commitment to support South Vietnam in its fight against the communist North Vietnamese forces.
Because of the domino theory. The North was communist and wanted to unite Vietnam to become one communist country. The USA backed the south because it wasn't communist and didn't want Vietnam to fall to communism.
the USA decided that they wanted to stop the spread of communism which would trigger the domino theory. The domino theory was that if a single country fell to communism then the surrounding countries would fall as well. The USA had also signed the Truman Doctrine that would enable them to go into any country that was at threat of falling to communism and fight to prevent it. Thus the USA decided that Korea and Vietnam were at threat of falling to communism and intended to stop the spread of communism in Asia
