The U.S. conflict in Vietnam lasted throughout three American
presidencies. The original goal was to contain communism and
keep its principles out of South Vietnam. Initially, U.S. soldiers
were sent to Vietnam as military advisors to the South
Vietnamese during the Kennedy administration. The conflict
escalated during the Johnson administration and more U.S.
troops were sent into active battles. It was not until the Nixon
administration that U.S. troops were pulled out of Vietnam.
Consider Kennedy’s reasons for sending military advisors to
Vietnam, Johnson’s reasons for escalating war and Nixon’s
reasons for pulling the U.S. out of Vietnam? Each
administration had strategic political and military objectives.
Based on the United States government’s political and military
objectives, do you think the Vietnam War was considered a
success? Did the U.S. and South Vietnam win the war?
In an essay of approximately 500 words, give reasons either for
or against the belief that it was a success. Your essay should
include reference to the reasons (both military and political)
that each president decided to increase or decrease U.S.
involvement in the conflict.
