Question

why America attacked in Vietnam

Answer 1

1 . In late January, 1968, during the lunar new year (or “Tet”) holiday, North Vietnamese and communist Viet Cong forces launched a coordinated attack against a number of targets in South Vietnam. ... The Tet Offensive played an important role in weakening U.S. public support for the war in Vietnam.


2 . The U.S. government viewed its involvement in the war as a way to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam. This was part of the domino theory of a wider containment policy, with the stated aim of stopping the spread of communism.

3 . The USA wanted to prevent areas of the world falling under Communist influence. The Cold War was at its height in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when the French appealed to the USA for aid. The US government sawVietnam as another Korea.

4 . The North Vietnamese government and the Viet Cong were fighting to reunify Vietnam. ... The U.S. government viewed its involvement in the waras a way to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam. This was part of the domino theory of a wider containment policy, with the stated aim of stopping the spread of communism.

5 . Although Nixon did continue to decrease American troop strength in SouthVietnam, the fighting continued. ... Under the provisions of the Accords, U.S. forces were completely withdrawn. Unfortunately, this did not end the warfor the Vietnamese and the fighting continued until April 1975 when Saigon fell to the communists.
