Vietnam War - Travis S.
After the French lose a battle in Vietnam, the country splits into two. Northern Vietnam and Southern Vietnam. These two were supposed to come back together after an election, but simply did not. The US joins and simply because they do not want a communist country. The war was hard enough, but with it being in Vietnam jungles, it was very hard to navigate through and make strategy.
After deciding to pull the US troops out, Southern Vietnam surrenders. The once split country now becomes one big communist country. This is not really what the US wanted seeing that communism is not the greatest idea.
This war was not won and not easy. The cost of casualties was enough to make this war important, let alone the fact that US had to step out of it. Being in the war was a good sign that we were strong, but once out of it, it looked as if the United States had given up.
