Did any UK nationals fight in the Vietnam war?
Officially only Australian and New Zealanders fought in Vietnam, NOT men from Great Britain. ^^^ Wrong British troops did not fight alongside the American's in the Vietnam war. However, British troops were stationed in South Vietnam on the 13th September 1945. They were charged with restoring French rule over Vietnam. They released French Military units previously arrested by the Japanese, maintained order and were to a drawn into clashes against the Viet Minh in Southern Vietnam. The French may not have been able to establish a foothold in Southern Vietnam and force the Viet Minh out of Saigon without British assistance. Not so much fighting but more restoring order

What were Truman's goal in establishing the policy of containment?
It was basically a policy to prevent communism from spreading. For example, when communist Koreans tried to take over the government, the Nationalist Koreans fought back with the aid of US troops. This was the Korean War. When communism tried to take hold in Vietnam, Vietnamese nationalists fought back with the aid of US troops. This was the Vietnam War. So basically it was a policy that pretty much sent military aid to any country fighting off communism in an attempt to stop it from taking over any more countries.
