Nixon inherited the Vietnam problems from his predecessor, President Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson escalated U.S. involvement in Vietnam through the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and increased troop deployments, leading to widespread anti-war sentiments. By the time Nixon took office in January 1969, the conflict was deeply entrenched, and he faced the challenge of navigating the U.S. withdrawal while managing domestic opposition and international repercussions.
We stopped em (communists) in Korea, we'd stop em again in Vietnam. However, we didn't repeat one mistake...we did NOT invade North Vietnam as we DID invade North Korea during the Korean War. That action (in Korea) brought Red China into the war. We bombed North Vietnam, but did not invade it.
"Entrenched" means firmly established and difficult to change, typically referring to beliefs, practices, or systems that have been in place for a long time. It can also imply being deeply ingrained or well-established within a particular context.
An entrenched meander is a curved bend in a river that has eroded deeply into the landscape, creating a steep, narrow channel. This process typically occurs over a long period of time as the river flows through the landscape, cutting into the underlying rock or soil. Entrenched meanders are often seen in areas where the river has limited space to move laterally due to surrounding topography.
Intractable conflict refers to a situation where the parties involved are unable to resolve their differences using typical conflict resolution methods. These conflicts often become deeply entrenched, with underlying issues such as identity, values, or power dynamics contributing to their complexity. Intractable conflicts can persist over long periods of time and resist traditional negotiation or mediation efforts.

Vietnam has never had a democratic government, so nothing has ever happened to this non-existent entity. If you are referring to the Republic of Vietnam (often called South Vietnam), which was a regime in the south of Vietnam from 1954-1975, this country was not a democracy. Although it has the word "Republic" in its name, it was really a state ruled by a strongman who was deeply beholden to US interests. As for what happened to this country, when the US withdrew military forces from Vietnam in 1973, the North Vietnamese Army overran the defenses of South Vietnam and conquered the country, bringing Vietnam into united Communist rule.
In 1735, Maryland had a system that relied heavily on slavery for labor. Indentured servitude was also present but was not as prevalent as slavery. Slavery was deeply entrenched in the economy and society of Maryland during this time period.
Trained incapacity is a concept popularized by sociologist Robert K. Merton. He used it to describe a situation where individuals or organizations become so specialized in their roles or skills that they are unable to adapt to new challenges or changes in their environment. This phenomenon can lead to inefficiency and hinder innovation, as those deeply entrenched in their expertise may struggle to think outside the box or embrace new ideas.
