Early Vietnam involved France rejecting Vietnam's post-WWII independence and an 8-year struggle ensuing. The US initially sided with France but grew concerned about communist expansion. This led the US to financially support France in Vietnam as part of containing communism. By 1954, Vietnam was partitioned, but the US feared communist victory in unification elections and backed South Vietnam's leader Diem instead. This divided Vietnam and marked the US replacement of France in fighting communism in Southeast Asia.

Early Vietnam
Early involvement in Vietnam began with France colonizing the region and rejecting Vietnam's declaration of independence after World War 2. The US initially supported France but grew concerned about communist influence in the region. Throughout the 1950s, the US increased financial support to help France maintain control, but Vietnam's independence movement strengthened. This led to the partitioning of Vietnam in 1954 along the 17th parallel. However, tensions and conflict continued between North and South Vietnam throughout the 1960s as the US replaced France and aimed to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia.

Vietnam notes
The roots of the Vietnam conflict stemmed from France's colonial rule over Indochina prior to World War 2. After Japan took control during the war, Vietnamese nationalists led by Ho Chi Minh fought them using guerrilla tactics. When Japan withdrew in 1945, Ho declared Vietnam independent but France tried to regain control, fighting Ho's Viet Minh forces until their defeat in 1954. The country was then divided into communist North Vietnam ruled by Ho and US-supported South Vietnam. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the US increasingly supported South Vietnam based on fears of communism spreading, but South Vietnam was corrupt and unpopular while North Vietnam and the Viet Cong gained popularity and strength.
The vietnam war new
The Vietnam War began as a conflict between North Vietnam and South Vietnam following the end of French colonial rule. The United States initially provided support to France in its war against Ho Chi Minh and later directly intervened in the war under the Eisenhower and Johnson administrations due to fears that communism would spread across Southeast Asia if North Vietnam prevailed. Despite massive U.S. military escalation and bombing campaigns, the Vietnam War became increasingly unpopular at home due to rising casualties and anti-war protests. The Tet Offensive of 1968 marked a major turning point that turned U.S. public opinion against the war, and the Nixon administration pursued a policy of Vietnamization to gradually withdraw U.S. troops while turning over more responsibility
1 Vietnam War
The Vietnam War lasted from 1954 to 1975 and involved military escalation by the United States in an attempt to prevent South Vietnam from falling to communist control. It began as a war of independence against the French and resulted in the partition of Vietnam into communist North Vietnam and democratic South Vietnam. Despite massive U.S. military involvement and bombing campaigns, the U.S. struggled against Vietnamese guerrilla tactics and growing domestic anti-war sentiment. This led to the withdrawal of U.S. troops and the eventual defeat of South Vietnam in 1975.
The vietnam war-shivek and naveen
The Vietnam War was a conflict between North Vietnam, supported by its communist allies, and South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. The war began in 1955 and ended in 1975 with a communist victory that reunited Vietnam under communist rule. The United States intervened in the war to stop the spread of communism in Southeast Asia based on the Domino Theory that argued if one country fell to communism then neighboring countries would follow. Key events included the Battle of Dien Bien Phu which led France to withdraw from Vietnam, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident which prompted greater US involvement, and the fall of Saigon in 1975 which marked the end of the war.

The Vietnam War occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1959 to 1975 between communist North Vietnam and the communist Viet Cong against South Vietnam and the United States. The US entered the war to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia according to the Domino Theory. Several US presidents escalated US involvement, but Nixon began withdrawing troops and negotiated a ceasefire, effectively ending US involvement despite later attempts to support South Vietnam.
the vietnam war
The Vietnam War lasted from 1959 to 1975 and involved the United States sending troops to Vietnam to fight the spread of communism. Over 2.5 million soldiers and civilians were killed in the war. The United States initially sent aid to the South Vietnamese government to fight communist forces from North Vietnam and the Viet Cong in the South. Despite massive U.S. bombing campaigns and the use of Agent Orange, the North eventually defeated the South and unified Vietnam under communist rule in 1975 after the U.S. withdrew from the country. The war remains controversial in the U.S. due to the military draft and protests against American involvement.

Over time the US increased troop involvement but also began withdrawing, and by 1973 most US troops had left as North Vietnam defeated South Vietnam, ending the war.
The vietnam war1
The United States fought in Vietnam due to the Domino Theory, which held that if Vietnam fell to communism, other countries like Laos and Cambodia would as well. This violated the US policy of containment to stop the spread of communism. The US lost because of underestimating Vietnamese tactics like guerilla warfare and tunnel systems, as well as overestimating the impact of US firepower. The antiwar movement grew due to the human costs of the war and the use of chemical weapons like Agent Orange and napalm. The war deeply divided Americans and eroded trust in government.
Vietnam Declaration of Independence
Ho Chi Minh was born in 1890 in Vietnam. He became a schoolteacher and sailor, traveling around the French Empire. He settled in Paris in 1917 and was influenced by communist writers. He helped form the French Communist Party and returned to Vietnam to fight for independence. During World War II, he allied with the Soviet Union and U.S. to fight the Japanese occupation. After the war, he declared an independent Democratic Republic of Vietnam but France sought to reestablish control, leading to war between the Vietnamese and French. The country was later divided along the 17th parallel after negotiations.
The usa history
The Vietnam War lasted from 1954 to 1975 between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The United States became involved to stop the spread of communism in Southeast Asia.

Direct U.S. military involvement ended in 1973 with a cease-fire agreement, but the war concluded in 1975 with a North Vietnamese victory. Over 55,000 American soldiers died during the conflict.
Vietnam War and Cold War
The document discusses agenda setting theory in journalism and outlines key aspects of the Cold War between the Western democracies and the Soviet bloc. It notes that media like newspapers and television do not perfectly reflect reality but rather filter and shape it for audiences. It then provides brief overviews of the Cold War tensions between NATO countries and the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact alliance, and goals of maintaining peace during that era.
Vietnam war end
Johnson stepped down in 1968 and did not seek re-election due to being discredited over Vietnam. Nixon implemented a Vietnamization policy from 1969-1973 to gradually replace American troops with South Vietnamese troops to allow the US to withdraw. However, the US struggled fighting guerilla forces, faced strong anti-war sentiment at home with many casualties and costs, and failed to win over the South Vietnamese people. Ultimately, the US lost in Vietnam as its military efforts were half-hearted and disillusioned, and the war fundamentally questioned America's beliefs about the president, military, and moral identity.
Vietnam Intro To Truman
Ho Chi Minh led the Vietminh movement to gain independence for Vietnam from France in the 1940s and 1950s. After World War II, Ho Chi Minh appealed to the United States for support against the returning French colonial forces. However, as the Cold War escalated, the US began supporting France and later directly intervened in Vietnam due to fears of communist expansion. Guerrilla tactics played a major role in the Vietnamese resistance, including booby traps, poisoned weapons, and an extensive tunnel network for hiding and transportation.
The vietnam war by Levi
The Vietnam War lasted from 1959 to 1975 and saw Vietnam divided between a communist North Vietnam supported by the Soviet Union and China, and a non-communist South Vietnam backed by the United States and other countries.

My favourite season
Winter is my favourite season because I enjoy playing in the snow and going sledding. I bundle up in warm clothes like a snowsuit, boots, gloves and a hat to play outside when it's cold. Some of my friends also like winter because we have holidays with our families and get to drink hot chocolate.
The Problem With The Health Care System
The document analyzes problems with the current U.S. healthcare system where consumers and payers are typically separate entities. This separation leads insurers to prioritize profits over patient welfare and causes healthcare costs to rise unchecked. The root cause of issues is identified as the disconnect between consumers and payers. The solution proposed is to make consumers also responsible for paying so that they actively shop for value and make choices that reduce costs, like pursuing healthy lifestyles.

French Indochina
French Indochina refers to France's colonial control over Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos from the late 1800s to 1945. [1] Vietnam first gained independence from China in 938 CE and developed a sense of national identity, but fell under French control in the late 1800s. [2] France established protectorates and full colonial control over the region until its defeat in 1945, after which Vietnam attempted to gain full independence under Ho Chi Minh but faced war with France and later involvement from the US. [3] The region was eventually reunified in 1975 under communist rule.
Chernobyl disaster
The Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 was the worst nuclear power plant accident in history. On April 26, 1986, a failed safety test at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine caused a massive explosion that released radiation 100 times more than the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Over 30 emergency workers died immediately from acute radiation sickness. Over the following decades, thousands more died from long-term health effects like cancer. The radiation fallout contaminated large areas of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and beyond, forcing over 336,000 people to be permanently evacuated from the most affected areas near the plant. The disaster highlighted the risks of nuclear power and led to increased safety standards worldwide.

Lesson 1 the vietnam war background
The document provides a summary of the key events of the Vietnam War. It began as a civil war between the communist North Vietnam led by Ho Chi Minh and the non-communist South Vietnam led by Ngo Dinh Diem. However, the conflict was rooted in Vietnam's history as a French colony. After World War 2, Vietnam was temporarily divided along the 17th parallel, with elections promised to reunify the country by 1956. However, the US opposed Ho Chi Minh and backed Diem, escalating their involvement over time and widening the war until a peace agreement in 1973 after significant US troop losses and protests at home. The North then reunified Vietnam under communist rule.
Proxy wars2
The Vietnam War began as a conflict between Vietnam's nationalist movement led by Ho Chi Minh and the French colonial government. After the French were defeated in 1954, Vietnam was divided between a communist North backed by Ho Chi Minh and a non-communist South. Tensions rose as South Vietnam's leader Diem grew increasingly authoritarian and suppressed Buddhists. As the Viet Cong insurgency in the South expanded due to Diem's unpopularity, the US increased support for South Vietnam but struggled against guerrilla warfare. Despite withdrawing troops under Nixon, the US was unable to prevent a North Vietnamese victory and the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule in 1975.
Vietnam War
This document provides background information on the Vietnam War. It describes how the US became involved to prevent the spread of communism under the Truman Doctrine. It discusses key events like the Tet Offensive and the Kent State protests against the war. The war ended in 1975 with South Vietnam falling to communist forces from the North.
THE VIETNAM WAR
The Vietnam War was a conflict between North Vietnam and South Vietnam that lasted from 1955 to 1975. It began as a war between Vietnam and France, which led to the country being divided along the 17th parallel in 1954. This division created North Vietnam, backed by Communist China and the Soviet Union, and South Vietnam, backed by the United States. Despite peace agreements, fighting continued and grew until the United States directly intervened in 1965. After years of heavy casualties and domestic opposition, the US withdrew from Vietnam in 1973, and North Vietnam captured South Vietnam's capital in 1975, reunifying the country under communist rule.
Roots of Vietnam War
Vietnam had been a French colony but was occupied by Japan during WWII. After the war, nationalist Ho Chi Minh declared an independent Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the north. This led to a war between Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh forces and the French-backed State of Vietnam in the south. The Geneva Accords temporarily divided Vietnam in 1954 along the 17th parallel. However, the division led to conflict between communist North Vietnam and U.S.-supported South Vietnam under Ngo Dinh Diem. U.S. involvement escalated throughout the early 1960s, with over 500,000 U.S. troops fighting in Vietnam by 1967.
Vietnam war
The Vietnam War was a prolonged conflict between nationalist forces seeking to unify Vietnam under a communist government and the United States attempting to prevent the spread of communism. It began as a result of Vietnam's struggle for independence from French colonial rule and escalated with increasing U.S. involvement. After major communist victories and declining public support at home, the U.S. withdrew from Vietnam in 1973, leaving South Vietnam to fight on its own until being unified under communist rule in 1975.
Unit 6 section 2 lesson 1 origins of the vietnam war
The document provides background on the United States' increasing involvement in Vietnam between 1945-1964. It describes how the US wanted to stop the spread of communism and support allies like France. As Vietnamese independence movements grew, the US feared communism would spread across Southeast Asia like a domino effect. This led the US to back South Vietnam's government against North Vietnamese forces and communist Viet Cong guerrillas. Key events like the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution granted the president broad war powers and committed more US troops to the conflict.
11msss vietnamwarpowerpoint[1](1)
The Vietnam War lasted from 1961 to 1975 between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The United States initially provided support to South Vietnam to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. Over time, U.S. involvement escalated with ground troops being sent to Vietnam. Heavy U.S. bombing of North Vietnam took place in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Despite peace agreements and the withdrawal of U.S. troops, North Vietnam conquered South Vietnam in 1975. The war remains very controversial in American history.
Caro
The document provides information about the Vietnam War which occurred between 1959-1975 in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. It details the key players including North Vietnam and the Viet Cong who were backed by Communist allies, and South Vietnam backed by the United States and other anti-Communist countries. The war began as an ideological conflict between communism and democracy but grew to involve massive US troop deployment and bombing of North Vietnam due to concerns that further communist gains could destabilize other countries in the region.
Ho Chi Minh
Ho Chi Minh emerged as a voice for Vietnamese independence while living in France during World War I. He helped found the Indochinese Communist Party in 1930 and the Viet Minh in 1941. After World War II, the Viet Minh seized control of Hanoi and declared an independent Democratic Republic of Vietnam with Ho Chi Minh as president. He would lead North Vietnam for 25 years in its struggle for reunification against South Vietnam and its ally the United States.

In the end, the document concludes that the war was a waste of lives and that the outcome would have been the same even if the US had not sent troops.
Vietnam War
The Vietnam War lasted from 1954 to 1975 and consisted of three phases. Phase 1 was a war of independence against the French which ended in French defeat in 1954. This led to the partitioning of Vietnam into communist North Vietnam and democratic South Vietnam. Phase 2 saw escalating American military involvement under presidents Kennedy and Johnson following the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. Despite escalation, the US struggled against Vietnamese guerrilla forces. Phase 3 was the Vietnamese Civil War from 1973-1975, which resulted in a final North Vietnamese victory and reunification of Vietnam under communist rule.
A Look At The Vietnam War

It then outlines the rise of Ngo Dinh Diem as leader of South Vietnam and increasing American military advisors. It describes the escalating American involvement under presidents Kennedy and Johnson, including massive bombing campaigns and increasing troop levels under General Westmoreland. A major turning point was the 1968 Tet Offensive, which showed the limitations of Westmoreland's strategy and undermined public support for the war in the United States.
Vietnam War [Section One]
The document summarizes key events in the Vietnam War between 1954-1975. It describes how Vietnam was divided after French rule, with communist North Vietnam led by Ho Chi Minh and anti-communist South Vietnam led by Ngo Dinh Diem.

- The United States initially sent military advisors to South Vietnam in 1961 to support the South Vietnamese government against communist North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. Over time, U.S. involvement escalated with the arrival of more troops and bombing campaigns against North Vietnam.
- By 1965, there were over 185,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam and the air campaign called "Rolling Thunder" dropped more bombs on North Vietnam than the entire Second World War.
- In 1968, the Tet Offensive involving 70,000 North Vietnamese soldiers launched a massive surprise attack and marked a turning point where U.S. public support for the war began declining.
IGCSE History-vietnam
The Vietnam War was a long conflict that started after World War II and ended in 1975 with the reunification of Vietnam under a Communist government. It began as a war for Vietnamese independence against French colonial rule, then escalated with US involvement to prevent the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia according to the Domino Theory. Despite massive US bombing and increasing troop deployment, the Vietcong and North Vietnamese forces prevailed through guerrilla tactics and understanding of the local terrain. Growing domestic opposition in the US led to a withdrawal of troops and the eventual defeat of South Vietnam.
cia in south vietnam paper
This document summarizes the rise and fall of Ngo Dinh Diem as leader of South Vietnam supported by the United States. It describes how Diem initially seemed competent but lost favor by persecuting Buddhists, undermining the war effort. As a result, the US did not stop an ARVN coup against Diem, throwing Vietnam into instability and frustrating the war. The document provides historical context on South Vietnam as a corrupt French client state propped up by criminal groups like the Binh Xuyen prior to Diem's ascent to power.
The vietnam war (4)
The Vietnam War caused immense loss of life and deeply divided American society. Over 50,000 US troops and millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians were killed in the long and unsuccessful US effort to contain communism in Southeast Asia. Growing public opposition led to major protests and political upheaval in the US. Ultimately, the US withdrew and South Vietnam fell to a North Vietnamese communist government in 1975. The war left a legacy of distrust in government and trauma for many veterans.

The Tet Offensive of 1968 was a major turning point in the Vietnam War. The North Vietnamese launched surprise attacks against South Vietnamese cities and even Saigon during Tet, the Vietnamese lunar new year holiday. This caught the U.S. off guard and contradicted their claims that they were winning the war. Images of the battle on television undermined support for the war at home. Although the U.S. and South Vietnam repelled the attacks, the offensive shifted perceptions and eroded confidence in the war effort. It marked a major escalation by North Vietnam and led to reevaluations of U.S. strategy and involvement in the conflict.

Nixon, Ford, & Carter (1969-1981)
Nixon avoided relying directly on his cabinet and instead relied heavily on a close staff led by H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman. Nixon struggled with high inflation and unemployment during his first term despite implementing wage and price freezes. The 1973 oil embargo caused by OPEC quadrupling oil prices in response to U.S. support for Israel seriously worsened inflation and led to a recession. Nixon also implemented a "Southern Strategy" of appealing to white southern voters by slowing desegregation and cutting funding for fair housing laws. In foreign policy, Nixon and his National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger pursued détente, relaxing tensions with major communist powers China and the Soviet Union through realpolitik negotiations and
Vietnam War
The Vietnam War began in 1954 after France lost control of Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh forces. Vietnam was divided at the 17th parallel, with Ho Chi Minh controlling North Vietnam and Ngo Dinh Diem controlling South Vietnam. The US initially provided aid to Diem's repressive government in South Vietnam and gradually increased military involvement over the following decades. Despite massive US bombing campaigns and increasing troop deployments, the Tet Offensive in 1968 showed that the US was not winning the war.

The US has a two-party system due to historical precedent, tradition, and electoral rules that make it difficult for third parties to succeed. Multi-party systems elect multiple parties through coalitions, providing broader representation.
President Nixon
Nixon pursued a policy of détente by relaxing tensions with major communist powers. His national security advisor Henry Kissinger played a key role in secret diplomatic outreach to China and the Soviet Union. This led to Nixon's historic 1972 visit to China, establishing diplomatic relations and further cooperation. Nixon also reached agreements with the Soviet Union, including the SALT I treaty that imposed the first limits on nuclear weapons.
Watergate
The Watergate scandal of the 1970s involved the burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate apartment complex in Washington D.C. by Republican operatives connected to President Richard Nixon's re-election campaign. Multiple investigations revealed that senior White House officials, including Nixon, were involved in attempting to cover-up the burglary and other abuses of power. Facing impeachment and criminal prosecution, Nixon resigned as president on August 9, 1974, becoming the only U.S. president to resign from office. His successor Gerald Ford later pardoned Nixon for any federal crimes he may have committed.
Impact of the Cold War
The Cold War had major impacts on national security and domestic policies in the US. The National Security Act of 1947 created new institutions like the Department of Defense and CIA to centralize defense efforts. NSC-68 called for expanding the military budget to actively counter communism globally. McCarthyism spread fear of communist influence domestically. Military spending increased dramatically as a percentage of GDP due to the arms race with the Soviet Union. Eisenhower later warned of the growing influence of the "military-industrial complex" on politics and society.
Korean War
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korean troops invaded South Korea, crossing the 38th parallel dividing line. The United Nations backed the US-led defense of South Korea in an effort to contain communism. Fighting escalated as Chinese troops joined the North Koreans, pushing UN forces back below the 38th parallel. The war settled into a stalemate along the border until an armistice was signed in 1953, leaving Korea still divided at the 38th parallel. The war had significant effects including the rise of the US military-industrial complex and the desegregation of American military units.
1950s Culture
The 1950s saw a period of prosperity and social conformity in the United States. Several key developments included the post-World War II baby boom, the rise of automobile-centered suburban living, and the emergence of consumerism and new household appliances. Television became hugely popular and shaped popular culture, while new youth cultures like rock n' roll music and teen rebellion also emerged. Strict gender roles were emphasized, and families often conformed to stereotypical television portrayals of suburban life. Religious observance increased and the nuclear family became the societal ideal.
Mobilization--WWII
FDR took steps in the early 1940s to prepare the US for potential involvement in World War II by asking businesses to support Britain's defense efforts and warning of threats posed by Axis nations like Germany. He knew the US would need to massively scale up production of war materials if it did enter the war. FDR mobilized the military and passed laws for conscription. When the US did enter the war in 1941, the government took control of the economy and directed industries to focus on weapons production. Massive federal spending and taxation financed the war effort while rationing and shortages affected daily life on the home front.
Road to War
The document summarizes the rise of fascism in Europe in the 1930s and the events leading up to America's entry into World War 2. It describes how Germany, Italy, and Japan increasingly violated international laws and invaded other nations. While the League of Nations condemned these actions, they were unable to stop them. Britain and France initially pursued a policy of appeasement toward Germany. As Germany continued expanding territorially through Europe, President Roosevelt took steps to increase US defense and aid to Britain through measures like Lend-Lease, but most Americans still favored isolationism. The war began in Europe in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. By 1940, Germany had conquered much of the continent while Britain stood alone, increasing pressure

Early Vietnam
- 3. Background Vietnam was part of French Indochina since late 19th century Japan had occupied them during WWII When Japanese surrendered to the Allies, Ho Chi Minh (leader of Vietnamese resistance to Japan) declared their independence, using words from the US Declaration of Independence By Sept. 1945, they were independent
- 5. Background France rejected their independence in 1946 and began an eight-year struggle for who would take control Ho Chi Minh tried to call on Truman for support He ignored the call for help and instead sided with the French Done in part to help French rebuild their economy
- 6. In addition: When China became Communist in 1949, the US was concerned they would side with the USSR and try to bring down colonial empires in Asia Republican criticism of Truman about China being “lost” persuaded Truman to take a strong stance against Communist aggression in Korea and Vietnam
- 7. In addition: Truman would do anything at this point for France’s support in large part due to his wanting NATO to last The Soviets and Chinese recognized Ho’s republic in 1950 The British and US recognized the puppet government of Bao Dai
- 8. Truman and Ike Both gave a great deal of financial support to the French in Vietnam This was part of the domino effect: support non-Communist governments in the area so that they stay non-Communist
- 9. Tensions Even with US support, French control was weakening: Viet-minh forces were getting stronger in northern Vietnam In 1954, Viet-minh forces seized Dienbienphu after 56 days of attacks This victory led to the partitioning of Vietnam at the 17th parallel in the Geneva accords France withdrew forces north of the line
- 10. More... Geneva Accords called for free elections for both sides within two years to choose a unified government The US feared that Communism would be voted in; they did not sign the accords Instead, said they would acknowledge the accords and would refrain from using violence
- 11. Results: Ngo Dino Diem was an anti-Communist Catholic who was in the US for eight years; he was chosen to rule South Vietnam in 1954 Ho Chi Minh would have won the unified elections; before they were to take place, Diem called them off The US supported this move
- 12. Domino Theory
- 14. At this point... The US replaced France as the main democratic power in Vietnam, looking to ensure that communism would not spread Vietnam, though small, became a symbol for US Cold War struggle Ike funded Diem and gave a small number of troops for protection and support in Saigon
- 15. JFK’s role JFK wanted to use Vietnam to test counterinsurgency techniques Over the course of three years, North and South Vietnam built towards a major conflict: guerilla warfare in the north was now present US increased its troop level, stayed out of guerilla warfare
- 16. National Liberation Front A combination of North Vietnam’s Communists and South Vietnam’s Diem opponents: NLF aka Vietcong Est. 1960 Found civilian supporters that would be accepting of Diem’s being removed They tried to ally with Buddhists (main religion of Vietnam) who would not support Diem’s Catholicism A number of militant demonstrations Diem retaliated by raiding temples and mass arrests of Buddhist priests
- 17. JFK’s reaction He realized that Diem needed to be removed or there would be risk to losing the South to the Communists Due to the fact that the US now supported the end of Diem’s tenure, they were now seemingly forced to stay in the region
- 18. Saigon—June 11, 1963— Buddhist Monk
- 19. Diem’s assassination Nov. 1, 1963: Diem was assassinated by officers in the South Vietnamese army JFK knew of the JFK was assassinated less than a month later; some feel that he might have removed the troops had he lived; most feel that his actions showed he was not going to do that U.S. had 16,000 “military advisers” in Vietnam at the time
- 20. LBJ He decided to keep the troops there, saying he would maintain US support of South Vietnam
