I need help with my study guide. I need to know about the vietnam war?
whats the significance of it, and what was the impact of it?
The Vietnam War happened because of the fear that America had in the Domino Theory. Back in the 50's and 60's we were afraid that communism would spread. The Domino Theory is simply like the game. If one country is taken over by communism then the next will be, and the next etc. In order to stop the spread of communism in this manner then we need to step in and stop it militarily. That is what the US attempted to do in South Vietnam. I believe we began supplying advisers around 1956 and the the war itself didn't end until I believe 1975. I graduated from HS in 1974 so I lived through that time period. Our guard was always up with the Soviet Union and China. During that time we went through the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was a time of change in American History. Here is a time line I found online Hopefully this will help you!
