The Vietnam War: A Conflict of Ideologies and Consequences

The Vietnam War, starting in 1959, was a conflict between Communist North Vietnam and non-Communist South Vietnam, with the US supporting the South. The US entered the war in 1965, driven by the domino theory, fearing the spread of communism. Key events included the Gulf of Tonkin incident and the Tet Offensive. Despite significant US military involvement, the war ended with the fall of Saigon and a Communist victory in 1975. The war deeply affected US culture, highlighting the strength of Vietnamese national spirit.
