What was the outcome of the US getting involved in Vietnam?

Enemy (North Vietnam) won the war. Edit: We didn't gain anything. We lost alot of lives. Nixon brought our troops home and let North Vietnam and South Vietnam work it out without our interference. Eventually, North Vietnam took over the South Vietnam government. Then there was no North and South Vietnam. It was just Vietnam. They had changed into an entirely communist government which is why America interfered in the first place. We were trying to prevent or stop communism from spreading.

How did the USA become friends with Vietnam?

in the 1950s, the french government was the leading commanding military force in south Vietnam. they were defeated and over run by the north vietnamese troops around 1958 because north Vietnam wanted the french influence thrown out of south Vietnam. the french were massacred. following this, the united states sent u.s advisors, such as the green berets and marine force reconasence, under the orders of president eisenhower. president eisenhower did this because russia and china were pouring in war supplies to north Vietnam. north Vietnam wanted to overcome south Vietnam and gain communist control. north Vietnam, along with russia and china, were communiist, and still are. my boyfriend served 3 tours in Vietnam and was a company force reconasence commander.


What events and conditions caused growing conflicts between north and south Vietnam?

There was a threat of south Vietnam becoming communist .. and we of all countries did not want this to happen... it was known as the "domino effect" (named by President Eisenhower). This means that if one country falls to communism, they all will. What basically started all of the war was when a U.S. ship entered the Gulf of Tonkin. Northern Vietnam felt in danger because of our presence, so they fired at us. We had a reason to fire back so we did.
