∙ 9y agoThe USA prevented elections in Vietnam in 1956 because they believed the Vietnamese people would vote in a Communist government, under Ho Chi Minh.
The 1956 elections were intended to unify Vietnam (which was split between the Communist north, under Ho Chi Minh, and the American-backed, Capitalist south, under Ngo Dinh Diem) under one government.
The American government feared that Ho Chi Minh, a Communist, would win the election and would make the whole of Vietnam Communist. The American government was keen to prevent this occurring, as they pursued a policy of containing Communism abroad (known as the Truman Doctrine). They also feared that if all of Vietnam became Communist then neighbouring countries would do the same - Laos, Cambodia, Burma etc. - known as the Domino Theory.
