?........the Vietnam war was a war between north and south Vietnam and America. America was trying to defend south Vietnam from the north invading and controling their territory. so America was on the side with south Vietnam
The United States Government truly did not support the troops it sent to VietNam. They never allowed the military to bomb the ports in the North where the weapons were flowing in from Russia. Our own government had NO idea of what we were doing there and why they sent us there.
That is what was said for the reason to go to VN. However, that is truly NOT the reason we went there. We went there because President Kennedy's successor as President was an ignorant poor soul who lied to the American people. Recall that on the 1963 campaign trail he stated : "I will never send American Boys 10,000 miles away to fight a war that Asian Boys should fight for themselves". LBJ was a complete Liar: A terrible Man in so many ways. He was a useless Commander in Chief who had no idea how to fight the VN War to win, and win quickly with the fewest casualties.
the French.
South Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Philippines, South Korea.
America helped out SOUTH Vietnam. NORTH Vietnam was attacking it.
Some people supported the Vietnam War because they supported America's resolve not let communism spread. The Cold War policy of America was still in effect during this time.
Vietnam and Laos. Vietnam and Laos. Vietnam and Laos. Vietnam and Laos.
America was defending Vietnam.
So some rude dude named lazaras deleted all my writing so I have to rewrite it all. Actually Vietnam wasn't a true country there was south vietname and north vietnam the south was with france and then america joined that side, and north vietnam was with soviet union and communist china. The Vietnamese didnt support the us because the us joined in the war supporting the south vietnamese. Hope that answered the question There i copied and pasted so it may look wierd but it was MY answer before it was deleted by lazaras
The Vietnam government claimed that about 400,000 Vietnamese were killed by America in Vietnam.
Vietnam Veterans of America was created in 1978.
