What do you think the Vietnam War
was about?

From November 1st, 1955 until the fall of Saigon on April 30th, 1975, the Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War and in Vietnam as the Resistance War Against America or simply the American War, was a conflict in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.

The Vietnam War was a long, destructive and divisive confrontation that pitted North Vietnam's communist government against South Vietnam and the United States, its key ally. The persistent Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union has escalated the dispute.

In 1949, China had become communist and North Vietnam was dominated by the communists. The USA was afraid of the spread of communism to South Vietnam and then to the rest of Asia. To assist the South Vietnamese government, it decided to send money, supplies and military advisers.

the largest free trade nation, along with the largest gdp in the world wanting to expand it's economic policy on us, and including us, could only be positive. the u.s. government has no interest in, or way of simply forcing american culture on us. and has no track record of it. other nations that adopted american social culture, or "americanization" did so voluntarily, mainly through the choice of allowing american businesses and u.s. citizens to come into their nations, as free operatives.

an economic reason that the south needed a reconstruction plan is that plantations, factories, and other businesses were destroyed during the war.
