Group #2 - Vietnam War
The Vietnam War is considered to be one of the most memorable and
long-standing conflicts that involved the U.S., with a major role to play in
it. The Vietnam War was primarily the consequences of the U.S. anti-
communist foreign policy in the year 1960.
It was the military conflict between communist North Vietnam and their
allies, against South Vietnam and other countries including America,
Australia, Britain, France and New Zealand. Australia’s alliance with the
USA was the main reason for the commencement of the Vietnam War.
The USA had been a part of the war since 1959 and needed Australia’s
assistance. It was a long, costly and divisive conflict. The conflict was
intensified by the ongoing cold war between the United States and the
Soviet Union.
The Vietnam War is also known as the Second Indo-China War and in
Vietnam as the Resistance War Against America. It was the second of
the Indo-China Wars that was fought between North Vietnam and South
Vietnam. North Vietnam was supported by the Soviet Union, China and
other communist allies.
On the other hand, South Vietnam was supported by the United States,
South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand, and the other anti-
communist allies were also there for support. The war lasted 19 years
and was also called the Cold War by many. The war had direct U.S.
involvement, and it ended in 1973.
The Vietnam War was one of the longest wars in the history of the
United States and was extremely divisive U.S., Europe, Australia and
elsewhere. The U.S. suffered a casualty of 47000 being killed in action
with the addition of 11000 non-combat deaths. Over 150000 were
wounded, and 10000 were missing.
