Main problem with the Vietnam War. Was ,it was never declared a war.President Kenendy sent advisorses, over to help with the winning or ways for the Vienamease to win.
As, with most errors. we started to send just a few troops to help.
There is your key word help. So with no declared war,we lost a lot. So much so .That when Johnson went into office he wanted out. But by then the country was in turmol
Most people in the U.S. Did not want us in. Others did. Oppositions of knowledge.
Opinions about the war? People, like today, were only concerned about events that effected them.
And only the military draft affected people during the Vietnam war.
The Vietnam war was from 1972 to 1853, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WOW! Whoever wrote this is a dumbwad! LOL
As starting points, try: American War Library; then try "Statistics about the Vietnam War."
Americans were more or less outraged about the Vietnam War due to the fact that it was the first televised war, allowing Americans to view what was going on at the front lines. American's were then able to view civilian's dieing. This was the Enemy's strategy, to get American's against the war so that they did not support it.
When jurists cannot come to a decision, they are said to be "dead-locked."
The point of view from the US and the rest of Asia was, we all knew it was "a communist thing"...the cold war. What could anyone do about the cold war? We had to live with it. When it came to the "shooting" part, during the Korean & Vietnam Wars, we had to live with it. When men started getting drafted to "participate" in it...then the riots and protests began.
The Vietnam War=the military draft!
They were ashamed of it

That is was fought in defense of slavery. That it was an unjust war.
A) America bombed North Vietnam to the peace tableB) North Vietnam forced the US to accept it could not win and it sought peaceTake your pick depending on your point of view. Either way, the war ended with the signing of a peace agreement on January 27th 1973.--ANSWER--It is not really "who ended the Vietnam war?" but "how did the Vietnam war end?" in which case i do not have the answer too.
