What were arguments for and against Australia's involvement in Vietnam war?

For: Many people at the time subscribed to the domino theory, that Communist dominance would spread from one Communist nation (such as North Vietnam) to neighbouring nations (such as South Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia) and that the chain would eventually result in Australia becoming a Communist dictatorship. At the time, the public were in general very fearful and hateful towards Communism. By fighting Communism in Vietnam, it was intended that North Vietnam's Communist military would be defeated before it could invade Australia. It strengthened Australia's alliance with the United States, another foreign party on South Vietnam's side of the war. Australia had a growing economy benefitting from increased trade with the US, and as a small country without much defence in case of invasion, could have the US intervene as 'repayment' for Australia helping them in the Vietnam War.It mirrors America's.


When was champa rice introduced in china?

The Tang Dynasty (618-907) Vietnam had many successful tactics of growing different strains of rice. With their surplus of rice, many different countries wanted to invade them to know how Vietnam was so successful at growing rice. To ensure that their empire was safe, they sold rice continuously to other nations and empires, including China.


Why did the older generations support Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War?

The older generation, and the thinking members of the younger generation, could see that the spread of communism by Russia and China was taking over South East Asia and had to be stopped, so supporting South Vietnam's freedom was a turning point which put an end to rapid and unchecked communist expansion. Although North Vietnam eventually succeeded in taking over South Vietnam, in the process the Asian countries which provided troops for the war used it as a training ground to upgrade their armies to the extent that after the war, they had the military strength to suppress their growing internal communist revolutionary forces. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Philippines achieved this, and Indonesia, although not involved, separately eradicated the massive internal threat.
