The United States (America) has only been invaded TWICE. And only controlled once:

1. Britain invaded and controlled the US (capital) during the War of 1812. They burned the US capital. Which was then rebuilt and painted white when the war was over.

2. Japan invaded and landed tanks in Alaska and occupied some of its territory; as well as shelling Santa Barbara California with a submarine deck gun and bombing Brookings Oregon with a submarine launched airplane. But Japan never occupied nor controlled America (never touched the US capital as Great Britain did).

Who decided to divide Vietnam?

That was quite complicated. After French troops were defeated in the battle of Dien Bien Phu in May 7, 1954, the Geneva Conference (which had been held before) came to an agreement known as the Geneva Accords. In this this set of treaties, France and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam both agreed to withdraw their troops to different parts of the country (Vietnamese forces to the North, and French troops to the South). After that, French army would retreat completely from Vietnam and two regions would unify in an election. However, U.S. government later refused to follow that schedule because they had never signed the Accords. They set up a pro-America government with Ngo Dinh Diem as president in South Vietnam while communists still controlled the North. To conclude, it was France, America and, ironically, Vietnam (didn't know what it was doing) who divided Vietnam.


What was Vietnam called before Vietnam?

What was the form of gov in vietnam before it was socialist republic?

Before reunification, Vietnam was divided into North Vietnam and South Vietnam. North Vietnam had a Sino-Soviet backed Communist government, while South Vietnam had a Western-backed Democratic government (at least in principle). Prior to the division of North and South Vietnam, it was subject to a French colonial government, whose control of the region was interrupted during WWII, when a Japanese occupational government controlled the region.
