The Conflict in Vietnam
During the 1950s and 1960s, the United States fought wars to
stop communism. Vietnam had been a French colony since
the 1880s. The Vietnamese fought for independence and
won in 1954. The country was split into communist North
Vietnam and non-communist South Vietnam.
Communists in South Vietnam were called the Vietcong.
In the early 1960s, they tried to overthrow the government.
North Vietnam helped the Vietcong. The United States sent
military advisers and supplies to help South Vietnam fight
the Vietcong.
In 1965, the U.S. sent soldiers to Vietnam. The U.S. troops
had better technology and weapons. They had jet bombers,
tanks, and helicopters. The Vietcong fought in small groups
that hid in the jungle. They controlled most of South
Vietnam.
The Antiwar Movement
The U.S. was spending billions of dollars on the war. Many
American soldiers were dying. On television people saw
soldiers fighting dangerous battles and the terrible results
of U.S. bombs on Vietnamese people. Some people thought
the United States had to fight communism everywhere.
Others thought the United States should stay out of a war
between North and South Vietnam.
The government drafted young men into the army. Many
did not want to fight in a war they believed was wrong.
People had antiwar demonstrations in many parts of the
country.
In 1969, Richard Nixon was elected President. He started
bringing soldiers home. But U.S. planes also increased
bombing of North Vietnam and started bombing Cambodia,
a country west of Vietnam. In 1973, North Vietnam, South
Vietnam, and the United States agreed to a cease-fire. U.S.
soldiers went home. The North Vietnamese won the war in
1975. Over 55,000 Americans died in the war. Communism
was not stopped in Vietnam.
