• This question in particular can be answered in many ways but our group decided that the U.S.’ policy of the containment of communism and the North Vietnamese being influenced by communist powers such as Russia, China was the reason for the Vietnam war.
• Vietnam was in an era of deciding if it could gain its own independence from the French who colonized Vietnam, although it wasn’t as crystal clear because there were multiple conflicts throughout history.

Vietnam was in an odd situation being a colony because Vietnam wanted to become independent from France.

When WW2 started France had to prioritize their own safety and de-occupied Vietnam, but then the Japanese seized the Vietnam.

Anti-colonialism movements such as the Viet Minh rose up when Japan was in control and succeeded in establishing control because Japan lost WW2.

This is where the heavy influences of the two great conflicting powers the U.S. and the USSR contribute to the division of Vietnam.

The Vietnam War begins, North Vietnam supported by communist Russia and China while South Vietnam is backed by the U.S..

An election never took place in Vietnam
because the two opposing sides—South
Vietnam supported by the U.S., and North
Vietnam supported by China and Russia—
could not agree on the terms of the
presidential election. The U.S. believed that
Ho Chi Minh would win the election, because
of his popularity. North and South Vietnam
were positioned to fight a civil war to
determine which government would rule
post-colonial Vietnam. Both sides built up
their armed forces and engaged in battles."]]> 2018-05-22 17:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinchavez517/8ggcx9qh9qkb/wish/262790709
