Army General William Westmoreland, who was the supreme commmander of all U.S. forces in Vietnam, asked Johnson in 1965 for more troops. This widened the war and the first major battle in Vietnam was the Battle of Ia Drang in the Pleiku Province of South Vietnam.

Did America win the Vietnam war?

Yes. Principally because the US Military and Government misunderstood the wider implications of pan-Indochinese communism and assumed that the South Vietnamese population could be convinced to resist this trend. They ignored the fact that the vast majority of South Vietnamese were already sympathetic to the cause of pan-Indochinese communism and that many were actively involved in bringing it about. This failure led to the belief that a limited war in South Vietnam was a winnable proposition. Note that despite US Military intervention ALL of Indochina did in fact become communist.


How did Johnson limit make the war effort more difficult?

President Lyndon B. Johnson's limitations on the Vietnam War effort stemmed from his desire to avoid a full-scale escalation that could lead to a wider conflict. He restricted military operations and imposed rules of engagement, which hampered commanders' ability to pursue aggressive tactics against the North Vietnamese. Additionally, his focus on domestic programs, such as the Great Society, diverted attention and resources away from the war, complicating the military's ability to achieve a decisive victory. These constraints ultimately contributed to a protracted conflict and increased public dissatisfaction with the war.
