Answers
1.Nixon's primary focus while in office was on foreign affairs. His foreign policy agenda, known as the Nixon Doctrine, called for indirect assistance to American allies in the Cold War, with the "Vietnamization" of the Vietnam War being the most notable example of this policy.
2.Geneva Accords, collection of documents relating to Indochina and issuing from the Geneva Conference of April 26–July 21, 1954, attended by representatives of Cambodia, the People's Republic of China, France, Laos, the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union, the Viet Minh (i.e., the North Vietnamese)
3.The domino theory was a theory prominent from the 1950s to the 1980s that posited that if one country in a region came under the influence of communism, then the surrounding countries would follow in a domino effect
4.America wanted France as an ally in its Cod War effort to contain the Soviet Union. Truman believed that if he supported Vietnamese independence, he would weaken anticommunist forces in France. To ensure French support in the Cold war, Truman agreed to aid France's efforts to regain control over Vietnam
5.On December 1, 1969 the Selective Service System of the United States conducted two lotteries to determine the order of call to military service in the Vietnam War for men born from January 1, 1944 to December 31, 1950. ... It was the first time a lottery system had been used to select men for military service since 1942.
6.Vietcong military tactics
Despite having no aircraft, tanks or artillery of their own, the Vietcong managed to hold out against the Americans until the USA left Vietnam in the 1970s. The Vietcong used a number of tactics to help them do this.
Guerrilla warfare
Guerrilla warfare is the art of using knowledge of the landscape to avoid open battle with the enemy and to launch raids and surprise attacks, before disappearing back into the undergrowth.
The Vietcong had experience of doing this while fighting the Japanese and the French after World War Two - they were very familiar with the terrain and the climate. They used the Ho Chi Minh Trail, which stretched from North Vietnam to the South, to keep their forces supplied.
Support from peasants
The Vietcong won the ‘hearts and minds’ of the South Vietnamese peasants. They would offer to help them in their daily work and also promised them land, more wealth and freedom under Ho Chi Minh and the communists.
It was difficult for American troops to know who was a Vietcong and who was not.
Tunnel systems and traps
The Vietcong had a hidden system of tunnels stretching over 200 miles. There were hospitals, armouries, sleeping quarters, kitchens and wells underground. These tunnel systems could hide thousands of Vietcong which helped them fight their guerrilla war.
It would be the job of US ‘tunnel rats’ to search these tunnels. However, they were often booby-trapped with spikes and grenades.
Foreign support
The Vietcong and North Vietnam were supported by the Soviet Union (USSR) and China who supplied money and weapons.
The Tet Offensive 1968
The Vietcong captured 75 per cent of main towns in South Vietnam for a few hours, including the American Embassy in Saigon.
The offensive failed but had two important effects:
The Americans realised that they could not win a war against such a dedicated and widespread enemy. It would take more damage to civilians and American forces than the USA was prepared to withstand.
President Johnson stopped bombing North Vietnam in return for peace talks in Paris.
