Why did the US support France instead of Vietnam after ww2?

After World War II, the U.S. supported France in its efforts to re-establish colonial control over Vietnam due to its broader strategy of containing communism during the Cold War. The U.S. viewed the struggle in Vietnam through the lens of the domino theory, fearing that if Vietnam fell to communism, neighboring countries would follow. Additionally, France was a key ally in Western Europe, and the U.S. wanted to maintain strong relationships with European powers. Thus, supporting France was seen as essential to preserving Western influence in the region.


Why was the domino theory a reason for the US to get involved in the Vietnam war?

The domino theory posited that if one country in Southeast Asia fell to communism, neighboring countries would follow, like a row of falling dominoes. U.S. policymakers believed that a communist victory in Vietnam would threaten other nations in the region, potentially leading to a broader spread of communism. This fear drove the U.S. to intervene militarily in Vietnam, aiming to contain the spread of communism and maintain geopolitical stability. Ultimately, the theory underscored the U.S. commitment to its Cold War policy of containment.

How did the US get in the war with Vietnam?

Lots of possibilities here. My favorites, in no particular order: 1) politicians could not appear to be as "soft on Communism" by "losing" Vietnam; 2) the doctrine of containment required us to become involved; 3) it was believed that if Vietnam "fell," the rest of southeast Asia would follow.

What is follow the actions clause in reinsurance?

"Follow-the-fortunes" is a fundamental doctrine of reinsurance which provides generally that a reinsurer must follow the underwriting fortunes of its cedant (reinsured) and is thus bound by the claims-handling decisions of its reinsured, provided there is no evidence of fraud, collusion with the insured, or bad faith. It is a burden-shifting doctrine which allows the cedant (reinsured) the freedom of making good-faith claims decisions without the fear of having to relitigate those decisions with its reinsurer. This term is used inter-changeably with "follow-the settlements".
