What happened during the Vietnam War  was a conflict between the communist, North  and the US allied South. The US wanted to give aid to the South because they were afraid of the Domino effect which meant that if Vietnam fell into war so would other countries in Asia. So the US took control over the weaker French leader Emperor Bao Dai and fought against Hoa Viet Minh force. Eventually after several years of fighting in 1973 the US came to a peace agreement and Vietnam became a communist country. In the HISTORY Vietnam War text it states “More than 3 million people (including over 58,000 Americans) were killed in the Vietnam War, and more than half of the dead were Vietnamese civilians”, this show’s truly how deadly and costly the Vietnam War was for both Americans and Vietnamese soldiers and citizens. This war reminds me of how gruesome the cold war was, even though it was mainly politics, and it saddens me to know many people faced this constant fear of fighting.

The Vietnam War was a conflict because a conflict typically evolves around having a disagreement which escalates into a larger problem, which the disagreement in the Vietnam  war was rather the country should be communist or more democratic like the US. Then the disagreement turned to a war with many years of brutal deaths,bombing and casualties. In the HISTORY Vietnam war text it states “The Vietnam War was a long, costly and divisive conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. The conflict was intensified by the ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union” .  This show’s that the war was proving to be a conflict between the North and South.

The Vietnam War was affected by the political idea that communism (which was spreading through Europe and Asia) in the North, who was unified with Stalin and China, had tensions with the South who had aid from the US. So when the conflict became more physical it wasn't surprising that a war formed because tensions where so strong because of the cold war happening in this time period as well. The US feared the domino effect which was the theory that if Vietnam fell into the hands of communism so would other countries. So the US gave military and economic support to the south to prevent the Domino effect. In the HISTORY Vietnam War text it claims “With the Cold War intensifying worldwide, the United States hardened its policies against any allies of the Soviet Union, and by 1955 President Dwight D. Eisenhower had pledged his firm support to Diem and South Vietnam”. This shows how political ideas shaped the cause of the Vietnam war. These separate political beliefs were the main cause of the Vietnam War.

A human right that was being expressed is the right to assembly and association which means that groups can form together to go against an idea that might be expressed in government laws/regulations. In the Vietnam War bands of citizens in the banned together to form a protest/assembly against the battling occurring in Vietnam. Which lead to the end of the war and a peace agreement between the North and South with the communist governing. In the History text it states “Bombarded by horrific images of the war on their televisions, Americans on the home front turned against the war as well: In October 1967, some 35,000 demonstrators staged a massive Vietnam War protest outside the Pentagon”. This show’s how US citizens banned together against a common belief to go against the horrible war. American citizens demonstrated  the human right to assembly when they stood up and protested against the war.
