How could a small country like North Vietnam defeat a large country like the United States?
In the Vietnam War, the US was engaged in battle with the forces of North Vietnam and the guerrilla forces in South Vietnam. The North sponsored and supplied the Viet Cong guerrillas, and North Vietnam was in turn supplied by the Soviet Union and perhaps had the help of China. The US was fighting a "limited" war. The US was solid in its policy of "communist containment". There was no attempt to overthrow the government of North Vietnam. The US sought a war of containment to also prevent it from becoming a larger war that would more directly involve the USSR or China. North Vietnam was not a threat to the USA. As with the US Civil War, all the South had to do was make the war unbearable and have the North quit. This is what happened in the Vietnam War. The US quit. As the war dragged on, it was clear that the US public was getting tired of the US troop losses. Time was on the side of the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong guerrillas. In a perfect world, the US could have easily been victorious in the war. The US had help defeat Hitler and Imperial Japan. North Vietnam was a small weak nation. In limited wars, where the enemy will make any sacrifice to win, the weak has an advantage over the stronger enemy. North Vietnam could allow huge guerrilla losses and there was no "public opinion" allowed to express dissatisfaction with the communists. The argument that the government of South Vietnam was corrupt holds no currency. The government of North Vietnam was also corrupt. One party communist governments are corrupt by their very nature. The US lost because of the restraints it had on itself and the fears that a more aggressive war might widen the war. It is clear now and then that limited wars are rarely successful.
Economic problem faced by reconstruction governments in the south?
Well as you can imagine it was hard for the South to talk to the North after the war. After all, after you fight with someone and think you going to win or say your going to win to the opposing person/team -- there is going to be a pride problem. How are you going to be able to talk to that person? That alone would be a social problem. Then you have your own slaves that just got freed, how are you going to talk to them?

What do kokoda and the Vietnam war have in common?
The Kokoda Trail was a footpath going thru the OWEN STANLEY RANGE in the islands of New Guinea, just north of Australia. US & Australian (ANZAC) forces defeated Japanese troops, in a series of campaigns, as the Japanese tried working their way to the New Guinea coastlines, during WWII. Australian troops, upon arriving in Vietnam, apparently brought with them, their battle lineage from the Kokoda Trail.
What were Kennedy's reasons for going into Vietnam?
As north Vietnam invaded South Vietnam, and the city of Saigon, so Kennedy sent troops to fight the Ho Chi min army. A growing body of evidence shows he planned to withdraw from Vietnam, realizing that the liberation movement in Vietnam was too strong and that U.S. interests would not be served by a long protracted and unwinnable war.
What president decided to take troops out of Vietnam?
I believe it was Richard Nixon in 1973 who began pulling out troops out of VietNam but the final pullout of American troops was in March of 1975. So between 1973 and 1975 we still had soldiers and possibly missions going on in VietNam. I myself am a veteran who served from 1973 to 1976 although I never went into VietNam, I feel justified in being recognized as a VietNam era veteran. Am I wrong in thinking that way ?? This I ask to those who went into VietNam?!?!? Please give me your comments
