The USA should have given up on the corrupt and incompetent government of South Vietnam when President John F. Kennedy and/or Lyndon B. Johnson was in office in 1963/1964/ or after LBJ was elected President in November 1964.

Unfortunately the USA, (and our allies), spent hundreds of thousands of lives and untold amount of resources trying to defend South Vietnam between 1963 and 1975. In 1973 President Richard M. Nixon pulled the USA out of the hopeless nation, and in 1975 President Gerald R. Ford Finally gave up on South Vietnam, which was Never Able to Defend itself, In spite of all that was done to try and keep it independent. South Vietnam was a mess and there was Nothing that we could do to save it from North Vietnamese conquest.

What did we fight for in the Vienam War?

The Vietnam War was the prolonged struggle between nationalist forces attempting to unify the country of Vietnam under a communist government and the United States (with the aid of the South Vietnamese) attempting to prevent the spread of communism. Engaged in a war that many viewed as having no way to win, U.S. leaders lost the American public's support for the war.

Did the war in Vietnam begin as a result of the North Vietnam invasion of the south?

Almost half correct but sort of turned around a bit. The Korean War began that way in 1950. The Vietnam war began by infiltration in 1955 (slowly escalating in guerrilla buildup and strength). The Vietnam war ended by a North Vietnamese Army invasion of RVN (Republic of South Vietnam).


Why is the Vietnam war often called the 'American war'?

One of the main reasons was to separate the Vietnam War from the French War or French Vietnam War (which is often referred to as the French Indochina War; and lately, the 1st Indochina War).
