here is your answer

Explanation:

    The escalating US involvement in Southeast Asia was driven by the logic of the domino theory, which contended that the falling of one country to communism would result in other surrounding countries succumbing to communism, much as one toppled domino will take down others in a row. The containment strategy, laid out by George Kennan in the Long Telegram, dictated that the United States do everything in its power to prevent the spread of communism. US officials believed that if South Vietnam fell to communism, so would the surrounding countries of Indonesia, Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Laos, and Cambodia.

Answer:

Explanation:

The Vietnam War:

• A protracted military fight between free-market democracy and worldwide communism, the Vietnam War began as an anti-colonial conflict against the French and developed into one throughout the Cold War.

• The Soviet Union, China, and other communist nations backed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV) in the north, while the Republic of Vietnam (ROV) in the south was backed by the United States and its anti-communist allies.
• The US engagement in the conflict was greatly increased by President Lyndon Johnson, who gave the go-ahead for a number of heavy bombing missions and sent hundreds of thousands of US ground forces into battle.
• North Vietnam attacked the South and brought the nation together under a communist regime after the United States withdrew from the conflict.

The domino theory, which argued that the fall of one country to communism would lead to the fall of other nearby countries, much like one dropped domino will take down other dominos in a succession, was the rationale behind the growing US engagement in Southeast Asia. The United States had to exert every effort to stop the development of communism, according to the containment strategy George Kennan outlined in the Long Telegram. According to US officials, if South Vietnam became communist, it would also affect the neighboring nations of Indonesia, Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Laos, and Cambodia.
