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.
The vietnam war
The document provides an overview of the Vietnam War between the United States and Vietnam from 1962 to 1973. It summarizes that the US was involved in a long military conflict in Vietnam during this period when the country was divided between communist North Vietnam and US-backed South Vietnam. After the war ended in 1973, the country was reunited as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the US and Vietnam now have diplomatic relations.
Marshall Plan
The Marshall Plan was a US program to provide economic and technical assistance to help rebuild European economies devastated by World War II. Secretary of State George Marshall proposed allocating $13 billion in aid to 16 European countries between 1947-1951 to restore infrastructure and prevent the spread of communism. While most Western European countries participated, the Soviet Union refused aid and prohibited Eastern Bloc countries from accepting it, seeing the plan as a threat to Soviet control. The Marshall Plan was largely successful, contributing to economic growth and recovery across much of Western Europe.
Wars and Foreign Policy
The document outlines major wars and events in United States foreign policy between 1775 and 1992. It discusses the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam War, Gulf War, and Korean War. Key outcomes included establishing the United States as an independent country, expanding its territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and emerging as a global superpower after World War II.
Vocabulary unit 9
The Cold War lasted from 1945 to 1991 and involved political and military tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. Key events included the Yalta and Potsdam conferences dividing post-WWII Europe, the Truman Doctrine providing aid to countries resisting communism, and the erection of the Berlin Wall in 1961 separating East and West Berlin. Other notable developments were the Space and Arms Races, wars in Korea and Vietnam, and Mao Zedong's rule in China including the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution.
Vietnam war
The Vietnam War was a conflict between communist North Vietnam supported by China and the Soviet Union against capitalist South Vietnam supported by the United States and other anti-communist countries. The war began in 1955 and lasted until 1975, with the United States gradually increasing its involvement and sending over half a million troops to Vietnam to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam. After nearly 20 years of fighting, North Vietnam defeated South Vietnam and unified the country under communist rule. Over 58,000 American soldiers were killed and over 300,000 wounded during the long and divisive war.
World War Ii Intro Causes
World War II was fought between the Allied Powers (led by Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States) and the Axis Powers (led by Germany, Italy, and Japan). Some key events leading up to the war included Germany, Italy and Japan's aggression in the 1930s, which the League of Nations failed to stop. In 1938, Germany annexed Austria and gained control of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland through the Munich Pact. In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, marking the official start of World War II.
Lesson 1 Causes of WWII
The main causes of WWII were:
1) The Treaty of Versailles crippled Germany economically and politically after WWI, fueling German resentment and allowing Hitler to rise to power.
2) The policy of appeasement failed to stop German and Italian aggression as Britain and France continued to give in to Hitler's demands.
3) The emergence of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union centralized power in dictators like Hitler and Stalin who were able to mobilize their nations for war.
4) The Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact allowed Germany and the Soviet Union to divide up Eastern Europe, enabling Hitler's invasion of Poland and the start of WWII.

Chapter 1 LON (Crises and Weaknesses)
The document discusses the League of Nations (LON) and its successes and failures in resolving conflicts in the 1920s. It outlines the LON's aims of collective security and disarmament. However, the LON struggled due to structural weaknesses like its lack of authority and military power. Major powers were unwilling to help enforce LON decisions, undermining its credibility and ability to resolve crises like the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and Italian invasion of Abyssinia.
Chapter 1 lon weaknesses
The League of Nations faced several weaknesses that undermined its ability to maintain world peace in the 1930s. It lacked clear defined roles for its Assembly and Council, unanimity was required for any action, and its various parts did not work well together. Additionally, the League had no military or economic powers to enforce its decisions and sanctions. Major countries like the US, Germany, and Soviet Union were not members, depriving the League of necessary support. Post-war, the major powers were unwilling to help enforce peace due to their own interests and distrust of each other, further weakening the League's credibility.

Unit 4 lesson 1 from isolation to involvement
This document provides an overview of key events and terms related to the early years of World War II and the debate in the United States over intervention. It describes Germany's rapid military conquests across Europe from 1938 to 1941 using blitzkrieg tactics, Britain's resistance against German air attacks, and the growing alignment of Allied and Axis powers. It also explains how Roosevelt advocated increasing support for the Allies through policies like cash-and-carry and lend-lease, while isolationists opposed greater involvement, leading to heated debates in the U.S. The summary ends with Germany attacking U.S. ships and war seeming inevitable.
Lesson 2 Isolation Vs. Involvement
As World War II erupted in Europe, Americans were divided on whether the United States should get involved. While some supported President Franklin Roosevelt's increasing aid to Britain and the Allies through measures like cash-and-carry and lend-lease, isolationists wanted to stay out of the war. Germany rapidly conquered much of Europe, leaving Britain as the sole holdout against the Axis powers. Roosevelt argued that American freedoms were threatened by German and Japanese aggression and increased cooperation with Britain through the Atlantic Charter. However, as Germany attacked American ships supporting the Allies, involvement in the war became inevitable.
Vietnam war
The Vietnam War began as a conflict between the French and Vietnamese nationalist forces led by Ho Chi Minh in the 1940s. By the 1950s, the US became involved due to fears that communism was spreading in the region. The US backed South Vietnam while North Vietnam was supported by communist allies. Despite peace accords in 1973, the war continued until 1975 when South Vietnam fell to communist forces and the US withdrew its support.
Causes wwii 2018
The document lists several key causes of World War 2:
1) The Treaty of Versailles humiliated and punished Germany after WWI, leaving them wanting revenge.
2) Totalitarian dictators like Hitler and Mussolini rose to power in the 1930s and aggressively expanded their territories.
3) Britain and France pursued a policy of appeasement, allowing Hitler to remilitarize the Rhineland and annex Austria and the Sudetenland, emboldening German aggression.
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 (edited)
The Vietnam War was a Cold War proxy conflict between North Vietnam, supported by communist allies like China and the Soviet Union, and South Vietnam, supported by the United States and other anti-communist countries. The war lasted from 1955 to 1975 and resulted in over 3 million deaths, including over 58,000 American soldiers. It began as a conflict between Vietnam and France but grew to involve the United States due to fears of communist expansion. The Vietnam War ended with North Vietnam capturing Saigon and reunifying Vietnam under communist rule.
The u.s. in world war i
The U.S. entered WWI in 1917 after German U-boats sank American ships and the Zimmerman Telegram was publicized. The U.S. mobilized its economy and military under new agencies led by Baruch and Hoover. Major U.S. offensives in 1918 helped turn the tide of the war. The Treaty of Versailles formalized the peace, but Wilson's goal of a League of Nations failed after the Senate rejected the treaty due to concerns over sovereignty. Germany suffered greatly under the treaty's demands while the U.S. prospered in the postwar years.
Causes wwii
The major causes of World War II included the punitive Treaty of Versailles, the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany under Mussolini and Hitler, Japanese expansionism in Asia, the worldwide Great Depression, anti-communism, appeasement of aggressors, militarism, extreme nationalism, and American isolationism in the interwar period. Key events weakening resistance to aggression included Germany's rearmament, occupation of the Rhineland, annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia, and the Nazi-Soviet pact enabling the invasion of Poland. The major Allied and Axis powers were poised for global conflict.
End of WWII - Path of the Cold War
The Cold War emerged from tensions between capitalist Western nations led by the United States and communist Eastern nations led by the Soviet Union. Key events that highlighted this conflict included the Berlin Blockade in 1948, when the USSR tried to force the Western allies out of Berlin, and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact in 1949 and 1955 respectively. The Marshall Plan and Truman Doctrine aimed to contain the spread of communism through economic and military aid to countries resisting Soviet influence. An arms race developed as both sides increasingly developed more advanced nuclear weapons throughout the late 1940s and 1950s, maintaining a tense stalemate known as mutually assured destruction.
American foreignpolicy 1920to1941
American foreign policy in the period from 1920-1941 was characterized by tensions between isolationism and interventionism. Several key events influenced this, including the rejection of the Treaty of Versailles, attempts at naval disarmament with allies, and debates around supporting European debts post-WWI. The US passed a series of Neutrality Acts in the 1930s in response to fascism's rise in Europe and Japan's aggression in Asia, though support grew for aiding allies as Germany and Japan continued expansionism into the late 1930s. Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 ended isolationism and brought the US fully into World War II.
Vietnam War -How did the US eventually leave Vietnam? Sara TS. & Sondoss 9A)
The document summarizes the US withdrawal from Vietnam. It discusses how the US failed to win hearts and minds or build a stable South Vietnam. After causing over 2 million deaths, the US realized the Domino Theory was false. Under President Nixon, US troops largely withdrew from South Vietnam by 1972 through a program called Vietnamization, transferring responsibility to South Vietnamese forces. The Paris Peace Accords of 1973 aimed to establish peace and end direct US involvement, temporarily stopping fighting between North and South Vietnam.
Vietnam War Background
Ho Chi Minh led Vietnam to declare independence from France in 1945. The French were eventually defeated in 1954, but the US became involved to contain the spread of communism according to the Domino Theory. The Geneva Accords temporarily divided Vietnam along the 17th parallel. Elections were planned to reunify the country in 1956 but did not occur due to South Vietnam blocking them for fear that Ho Chi Minh would win. The US supported the anti-communist South Vietnamese leader Ngo Dinh Diem and began training the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN). Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh built up North Vietnam's army and Viet Cong guerrilla fighters in the South. In 1964, alleged attacks by North Vietnam
Cold War M.5/2
The document discusses the Cold War between liberal Western countries led by the US and communist countries led by the Soviet Union from 1947-1991. There were three main characteristics of the Cold War: a military alliance race, a technological race in areas like astronomy, and an ideological race. Major crises during this time included the Berlin Wall which divided East and West Germany and the Vietnam War between North and South Vietnam. The Cold War ended with the dissolution of the Soviet Union and independence of many countries.
Seeds of Conflict - Scott
The main cause for dispute leading up to the War in Vietnam was the division of Vietnam following French rule. After 100 years, France withdrew from Vietnam in 1954 under the Geneva Peace Accords which split Vietnam along the 17th parallel, creating a communist North Vietnam and anti-communist South Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh and the North began planning to take over the South and spread communism throughout Vietnam. Fearing the spread of communism during the Cold War, the United States became involved in an advisory role in the early 1960s and the Vietnam War began.
CAMBRIDGE AS HISTORY REVISION - AGE OF UNCERTAINTY: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The document discusses several questions related to the aftermath of World War 1 and the Paris Peace Settlement. It provides context and analysis for each question.
Question 1 discusses Germany imposing harsh terms on Russia in 1918, contradicting Wilson's 14 Points. It notes the peacemakers faced contradictory demands and the instability of successor states.
Question 2 examines German objections to the Treaty of Versailles and whether they were justified. It discusses security concerns, territorial losses, and reparations while noting the treaty could have been worse.
Question 3 analyzes two sources critical of the treaty, arguing it would lead to future war, and discusses evaluating their provenance as coming from German and British perspectives.
CAMBRIDGE AS HISTORY REVISION - INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The document contains questions and answers related to the history of the League of Nations and the United Nations. It discusses key figures in the establishment of the League like Woodrow Wilson. It also analyzes reasons for the League's failures to prevent aggression in the 1930s and debates over how to establish a more effective international organization after World War 2 to maintain peace.
Presentation1(2)
The document discusses the reasons for America entering World War I and World War II. For WWI, the main reason was the sinking of the passenger ship Lusitania by a German U-boat in 1915, which killed over 100 American citizens and helped turn public opinion against Germany. For WWII, America initially aided Britain and France through Lend-Lease but officially entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Both events involved the deaths of American citizens and forced America's hand into joining the wars.
The domino theory
The Domino Theory proposed that if one country in a region came under communist control, neighboring countries would follow in a domino effect. Prime Minister Menzies subscribed to this theory, arguing that if South Vietnam did not maintain independence after the Vietnam War, other Southeast Asian countries like Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia could become vulnerable to communism spreading. A 1966 Liberal Party election poster visually depicted the Domino Theory to convince voters that preventing the spread of communism was important for Australia's security.
Containment Domino Theory
1) The document discusses the containment policy and domino theory that influenced US involvement in Vietnam.
2) The containment policy aimed to restrict communist expansion, while the domino theory held that if one country became communist others would follow.
3) The US grew involved in Vietnam to contain communism in Southeast Asia and prevent other countries from falling like dominoes, as the US believed happened after France's failure against communism in Vietnam in 1954.

The project's scientists, including Enrico Fermi and Robert Oppenheimer, researched nuclear fission and worked to design and build atomic bombs, conducting the first nuclear test, code named Trinity, on July 16, 1945. This led to the bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 with a uranium gun-type bomb, and of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 with an implosion-type plutonium bomb, bringing World War II to an end.
“Digital democracy” helen milner digital leaders annual lecture 24 february 2015
My speech at the Digital Leaders Annual Lecture in February 2015 about Digital Democracy. Slides have notes of the full speech. This is about people and democracy more than technology. I talk about social media, the Arab Spring, the crowdsourced constitution in Iceland, and the Net Party in Argentina. I talk about the findings of the UK House of Common's Speaker's Commission on Digital Democracy - as a Commissioner. Not radical but perhaps a very quiet and polite revolution.

This document summarizes and reviews a book about the lives of Indian women. It provides an introduction to the book and its author, a brief summary of the book's content and perspective, and reviews some of the most important chapters. The book uses case studies and research to examine issues facing Indian women like dowry deaths, female infanticide, and arranged marriages from a observational, non-stereotypical lens. It aims to provide insight into the lives and roles of women across India from various perspectives.
Topic 1 intro power and ideas
The document provides background on the shifting balance of power in East Asia after World War 2 and the onset of the Cold War between the US and USSR. It discusses:
1) How the US came to dominate Asia after WW2 due to other powers being weakened while the US emerged as a major superpower.
2) How the balance started to shift with the establishment of communist China in 1949 and challenges to Western colonial rule in Asia.
3) How the relationship between the former WW2 allies of the US and USSR soured due to clashes in ideology, military power, and spheres of influence, giving rise to the Cold War.
Red Star Over China (Speaker: Vincent Lee Kwun-leung) [Part 2]
The "Red Star Over China" is a publication of Edgar Snow in 1968, with Victor Gollancz Limited in London as the publisher.
"Red Star Over China" recorded how the proletariat ideal of Communist Party was prospered as the mainstreamed ruling ideology in 20th-century China - from Menshevism of Chen Duxiu to Bolshevism of Mao Zedong.
Vincent Lee Kwun-leung (李冠良), the speaker of this academic talk, received the education of Prof. Cindy Chu Yik-yi (朱益宜教授) during her "Sino-American Relations" course at HKBU History Department in early 2009. Prof. Cindy Chu requested Vincent Lee and other students to do a "History Book Review" on "Red Star Over China" to analyze how an American journalist observed Communism in China.
Prof. Cindy Chu Yik-yi obtained a Ph-D qualification in University of Hawaii at Manoa. Her BA and M-Phil qualifications were from the University of Hong Kong. Prof. Chu is an alumnus of Maryknoll Convent School, and her Catholic growing background enables her to devote to the research on Maryknoll Sisters' missionary and charitable services in Hong Kong. Now, Prof. Chu is the Associate Director of HKBU David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies.
The Arab Spring: A simple compartmental model for the dynamics of a revolution
This document presents a simple compartmental model to describe the dynamics of revolutions like the Arab Spring. The model divides a population into those participating in a revolution and those not participating. The model includes terms for growth in participation when the revolution becomes visible and decay when a regime can suppress it. New technologies may impact the model parameters by increasing visibility of protests and motivation of participants. Case studies of Tunisia and Egypt show how small changes in parameters due to new media could destabilize otherwise stable regimes.
1948 Arab–Israeli
The document summarizes the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, which began as tensions rose between Arabs and Jews in British-controlled Palestine over the creation of a Jewish state. [1] The Arab League declared they would go to war if the UN partition plan was approved. [2] After Israel declared independence, surrounding Arab states invaded but failed to defeat the new nation. [3] The war resulted in hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees fleeing or being expelled from their homes.
Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
The document summarizes the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from 1914 to the present. It discusses how British actions after WWI, including the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate, laid the groundwork for ongoing tensions by supporting Zionism while undermining Palestinian self-determination. It also outlines key events that inflamed the conflict such as the 1947 UN partition plan, the 1948 war surrounding Israel's declaration of independence, and subsequent wars in 1967 and 1973.
Egypt
The document provides information about the history and culture of Egypt. It discusses Egypt's early dynasties and conquest by Alexander the Great and the Persians. It then covers Egypt's geography, climate, demographics, religions, holidays, weddings, cuisine, government and recent political events. Key facts include that Egypt is located in North Africa, has a population of over 77 million people and Islam is the dominant religion practiced by about 90% of Egyptians. It also notes Egypt's conflicts with Israel and the 2011 uprising that led to democratic elections.
Nuclear power plant
The document summarizes key aspects of nuclear power plants. It describes how nuclear fission in elements like uranium-235 produces heat that is used to generate electricity. It explains the major components of a nuclear power plant including the reactor core, control rods, steam generators, turbines, and cooling towers. Nuclear power plants use the heat from nuclear fission to convert water to high-pressure steam, which spins turbines that generate electricity while protecting public safety.

Before the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, the Shah governed in a secular fashion that supported women's suffrage and education for both boys and girls together without religious interference. Iranian families traditionally lived in extended structures together, and women had greater rights, including in dress, compared to the weaker position they faced after the revolution imposed stricter religious influences over society and government.
Arab israeli klaus 1
The document discusses several key aspects of the modern Middle East region, including its oil reserves, status as the heart of the War on Terror due to advanced weapons, location along the vital Suez Canal trade route, and legacy of colonial influence and instability. It then outlines the creation of Israel in 1948 and the subsequent invasion by neighboring Arab states, ending with 1949 armistice agreements. The document also discusses the 1967 Six Day War between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt.
Inventions: The computer
The first electronic computer was created in 1941 by Konrad Suze at Iowa State University. Konrad Suze was a German computer scientist born in 1910 in Berlin who is credited with building the first computer before being called up for military service during World War II. The first computer was vastly different from modern computers, as early computers required searching for information in books and newspapers while now information can easily be found online with a Google search.

The document provides a history of Vietnam from 1940 to 1978. It details Japan's invasion in 1940 and the beginning of the Viet Minh resistance group under Ho Chi Minh in 1941. It then discusses the First Indochina War between the Viet Minh and French colonial forces from 1946 to 1954, when the French were defeated at Dien Bien Phu. This led to the Geneva Accords and temporary division of Vietnam along the 17th parallel, with the North controlled by communists and the South led by Ngo Dinh Diem.

The Vietnam War
The document provides background information on the Vietnam War. It discusses the colonial history of Vietnam and the division of Vietnam following the 1954 Geneva Conference. This led to war between North and South Vietnam as North Vietnam and the Viet Cong fought to reunify the country under communist rule. The US intervened on behalf of South Vietnam to stop the spread of communism. The war lasted over 20 years and involved major US troop escalations and offensives from both sides, ultimately resulting in a North Vietnamese victory in 1975.
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.

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.
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.
Vietnam war
The Vietnam War lasted from 1954 to 1975 and involved military engagement between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, with the United States backing South Vietnam. France had previously controlled Vietnam but withdrew after their defeat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. This led to Vietnam being divided along the 17th parallel, with communist North Vietnam controlling the north and US-backed South Vietnam controlling the south. Tensions rose and the US became increasingly involved, sending military advisors to support South Vietnam against North Vietnam and communist Viet Cong forces in the south. Major events of the war included the Gulf of Tonkin incident leading to increased US bombing of North Vietnam, the Tet Offensive of 1968, and the fall of Saigon in 1975 when North Vietnam defeated
Presentation19
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 Vietnam War
The Vietnam War began as an effort by the US to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia under the "domino theory." While North Vietnam sought reunification under communist rule, the US backed South Vietnam. Major events of the war included the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which escalated US involvement, the Tet Offensive which turned US public opinion against the war, and the My Lai Massacre which further damaged the US reputation. Over 58,000 US soldiers and 1-2 million Vietnamese died in the long and divisive conflict before US withdrawal in 1973.
Us involvement in the vietnam war 1
The US involvement in the Vietnam War can be divided into 3 stages:
1. 1945-1964: Initial assistance to France and South Vietnam against communist forces.
2. 1964-1968: Escalation under President Johnson, with troop levels rising from 15,000 to 500,000. Intensified bombing and fighting failed to defeat North Vietnam.
3. 1969-1973: Nixon's Vietnamization policy attempted to transition fighting to South Vietnamese forces and reduce US troops, culminating in the 1973 Paris Peace Accords. However, South Vietnam ultimately fell to communist forces in 1975.
Us involvement in the vietnam war 1
The US involvement in the Vietnam War can be divided into 3 stages:
1) 1945-1964 where the US assisted France and later South Vietnam
2) 1964-1968 saw escalation under President Johnson as US troops grew from 15,000 to 500,000
3) 1969-1973 was Nixon's Vietnamization strategy which aimed to gradually withdraw US troops while strengthening South Vietnam.
Lbj and vietnam
The document discusses the US involvement in the Vietnam War under President Lyndon B. Johnson. It describes how the US initially provided support to France in fighting communist forces led by Ho Chi Minh. It then escalated its own involvement throughout the 1960s despite growing domestic opposition, leading to the deployment of 500,000 troops by 1968. The Tet Offensive in early 1968 was a major turning point that turned US public opinion against the war and led to LBJ deciding not to seek re-election.
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.
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.

The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and its allies, and the Soviet Union and its allies, from 1947 to 1991. It began after WWII as relations broke down between the former allies. The US and USSR established opposing military alliances (NATO and the Warsaw Pact respectively) and engaged in proxy wars and arms races throughout the world. Some of the most tense periods included the Berlin Blockade, Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis, and Vietnam War. In the late 1980s, reforms under Gorbachev led Eastern Bloc countries to break away, and the USSR dissolved in 1991, ending the Cold War.
Vietnam 1
The document discusses the history of the Vietnam War, from France's colonization of Vietnam in the 1800s to the escalating US involvement throughout the 1960s. It provides context on the Cold War tensions between communist and capitalist ideologies, as well as Vietnam's declaration of independence from France in 1945. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident and subsequent Gulf of Tonkin Resolution from Congress granted President Johnson authority to escalate US military involvement in Vietnam through aerial bombing campaigns and increasing troop deployments in the country.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
