The USA, Vietnam was revolting against the French in the 50's, America started deploying 'advisory' troops to Vietnam in the very early 60's and began consistantly escalating its troop levels until 1968. America did not official withdraw until 1975. America claimed it was trying to defeat a communist takeover of Vietnam and allow democracy. America should not have gotten involved, the Geneva Conference called for Vietnam to have free elections howevever America did not allow this to happen because of the peoples overwhelming support for Ho Chi Minh, a socialist Vietnamese revolutionary. In the end the Vietnamese held out, Ho Chi Minh became their leader after a 30+ year struggle for independance.
