The communists conquered the Republic of South Vietnam on 30 April 1975.
Yes. Vietnam was a French colony. They lost a Vietnam War and were thrown out of Vietnam before America tried to win a war in Vietnam. America also lost a Vietnam War.

?........the Vietnam war was a war between north and south Vietnam and America. America was trying to defend south Vietnam from the north invading and controling their territory. so America was on the side with south Vietnam
The Vietnam War made America stronger.
The Republic of South Vietnam.
America was defending Vietnam.
In a phrase: The Vietnam War. America was becoming more and more ambivalent about Vietnam, seeing it as an "un-winnable" war, and then Walter Cronkite did a special report on it from Vietnam. Cronkite's conclusion was pretty much that it was essentially a dead heat that was going nowhere, and Cronkite was known at that time as "The most trusted man in America". After watching the report, Johnson said: "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost America".
The Vietnam War=the military draft!
The costs for America in the Vietnam war was $140 billion
We didn't win the war, HOWEVER, with the anger of the people in America and tons of riots we left, when we left South Vietnam fell shortly to the communists. Though many say we just lost.
The United States Government truly did not support the troops it sent to VietNam. They never allowed the military to bomb the ports in the North where the weapons were flowing in from Russia. Our own government had NO idea of what we were doing there and why they sent us there.
Vietnam , America , and Russia
