The Vietnam War involved the United States and its allies fighting against North Vietnam and the Viet Cong from the late 1950s until 1975. The war's primary cause was the U.S. policy of containment aimed at preventing the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. Major events included significant battles like the Tet Offensive and the My Lai Massacre. The war ended with the fall of Saigon, leading to the reunification of Vietnam under communist control.
major battles in the splendid little war of spain
US Infantrymen were alittle more at risk at becoming a casualty, than their WW2 fore fathers; by virtue of the helicopter...which caused the Vietnam War GI to fight more battles in a smaller amount of time than a WW2 serviceman...who had no RAPID DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITIES (the helicopter). Example(s): A WW2 GI might fight one battle in 2 days; whereas a Vietnam GI might fight 2 battles in 2 days. Other than that; each GI in Vietnam was expected to complete his 12 month tour of duty in country.
