Early Vietnam
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.
Cold War 4 Vietnam
Canada remained neutral during the conflicts in Vietnam in the post-war period. After World War 2, the Viet Minh seized control of Vietnam from the French and declared independence. France tried to reestablish colonial rule which led to full scale war breaking out in 1947 between the Viet Minh and French forces. By 1954, France admitted defeat and granted independence to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, though Vietnam was partitioned pending national elections. The United States supported South Vietnam which refused to hold elections out of fear the communists would win, and adopted the Domino Theory that communism must not be allowed to further spread in the region.
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 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.

World War 2 was a global war fought from 1939 to 1945 involving nearly every country. It began when Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939, leading Britain and France to declare war on Germany. The two opposing alliances were the Axis powers of Germany, Italy, Japan and others against the Allied powers including the US, Britain, France, USSR and others. Major battles included Stalingrad, Berlin and Britain. Germany surrendered in 1945, while Japan surrendered after the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

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.

The main opposing sides were the Allied Powers (Britain, France, USSR, China, US) versus the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, Japan). Over 70 million people fought in the war, and around 64 million died making it the most catastrophic war ever. The US joined the Allied side in 1941 after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The war ended in 1945 with the defeat of Germany and Japan.

While FDR wanted to assist allies, the US was bound by Neutrality Acts. However, Roosevelt supplied allies with materials through cash-and-carry provisions and the Lend Lease Act. Growing tensions and events like the bombing of Pearl Harbor eventually led the US to enter WWII and abandon its neutral stance.
Major Causes and Events of World War II
World War 2 was caused by German and Japanese aggression and expansionism. Major events included Germany invading Poland and the Soviet Union using blitzkrieg tactics, the Holocaust, Japan invading China and other Asian nations, the US entering the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Allied forces storming Normandy on D-Day and advancing into Germany, and the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki leading to Japan's surrender.

Cld War10 Vietnam Web
France had controlled Vietnam since the 1800s, but faced growing Vietnamese nationalism. After World War 2, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam independent but France wanted to retake control. This sparked war between the French forces and Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh rebels from 1946-1954. Despite support from the US, the French faced difficult guerilla warfare and growing Viet Minh strength due to aid from China and the USSR. This culminated in the French defeat at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, forcing France to withdraw and leave Vietnam divided pending reunification elections.
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.

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.

Ho Chi Minh was born in Vietnam in 1890 and received a modern education in France. He embraced communism and became a founding member of the French Communist Party. In 1941, he returned to Vietnam to lead the Viet Minh independence movement against French and Japanese occupiers, receiving support from the U.S. Office of Strategic Services. After World War 2, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnamese independence but France sought to reestablish colonial control, provoking war with the Viet Minh led by General Vo Nguyen Giap. This led to the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, which marked a major defeat for France in Indochina.
VIETNAM WAR - 02. CONTEXT OF VIETNAMESE RESISTANCE
1. Ho Chi Minh emerged as a voice for Vietnamese independence in the early 20th century and helped found the Indochinese Communist Party and Viet Minh, a nationalist front organization.
2. During World War II, the Viet Minh seized control of northern Vietnam and declared independence after the Japanese surrender, though the French failed to recognize Vietnamese independence.
3. The Viet Minh led the struggle against French colonial rule and had popular support in rural areas, while most of its leadership later joined the Vietnamese Communist Party.
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.
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.
Vietnam War
The document provides an overview of key events in the Vietnam War from French colonial rule to the fall of Saigon in 1975. It discusses the U.S. policy of containment and escalating involvement in the war through bombing campaigns and increasing troop levels. As the war dragged on, opposition grew both due to rising casualties and the televised footage of fighting. Protests erupted on college campuses and at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. While peace negotiations began, the U.S. did not fully withdraw until 1973 and South Vietnam continued fighting until ultimately falling to communist forces in 1975.

It discusses the U.S. policy of containment and escalating involvement in the war through bombing campaigns and increasing troop levels. As the war dragged on and casualties rose, opposition grew both on college campuses and in Congress, especially after the Tet Offensive of 1968 was televised. Nixon pursued a policy of Vietnamization to withdraw U.S. troops while maintaining South Vietnamese control, but the South eventually fell to communist forces in 1975 after the U.S. withdrew support.

Over 58,000 U.S. troops were killed in the long and bloody conflict.
Vietnam War
The document discusses the causes and key events of the Vietnam War. It began as an effort by the US to contain the spread of communism through alliances and policies like the Domino Theory. This led to increasing American involvement and escalation over decades. Major events included the division of Vietnam in 1954, the Tet Offensive of 1968, and the Fall of Saigon in 1975, which ended with a communist victory.
The Indochina Wars
- French Indochina consisted of modern-day Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and was established in the 19th century as a French colonial possession.
- After World War 2, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnamese independence and fought against the French to establish the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. This led to the First Indochina War between the Viet Minh and France.
- The Viet Minh defeated the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, leading to the partitioning of Vietnam and the Geneva Accords. However, tensions continued between North and South Vietnam.
Vietnam and Algeria
The document provides historical context on Algeria and Vietnam's colonial experiences and paths to independence. It discusses:
1) Algeria was a French colony for 130 years, with significant European settlement. Nationalist movements emerged in the 1920s-1930s. The Algerian War of Independence began in 1954 against French rule and ended in 1962 with Algeria gaining independence.
2) Vietnam was colonized by France from the 19th century. Ho Chi Minh led the Vietnamese resistance and declared independence in 1945. This began the First Indochina War, leading to the 1954 Geneva Accords that temporarily divided Vietnam.
3) Both countries struggled with the impacts of colonialism, including economic disruption and global superpower involvement linked to

Vietnam: Introductory Notes
The document summarizes the history of Vietnam from 208 BC to 1963, including periods of rule by China, periods of independence, and periods of rule by France and Japan. It discusses key events like the Geneva Conference which divided Vietnam along the 17th parallel, and the rise of Ho Chi Minh and Ngo Dinh Diem as leaders of North and South Vietnam respectively.

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.
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 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.
