What was the reasons that America entered the Vietnam war?
I'm doing a report of the Vietnam War myself.... Well, Eisenhower didn't really want to send troops to Vietnam, but he thought later that if N. Vietnam won, communism would spread around Asia--not good. So he sent troops. And then Kennedy supported S. Vietnam and its leader, Diem. But then he was convinced that Diem was too unpopular, so he paid some S. Vietnam generals $40,000 to overthrow Diem, which worked because Diem was assassinated. Then there's Johnson. He knew that he would have to send troops, since the U.S. was already way involved. But he couldn't send them right away--no, that would ruin his chances of winning the election. He did send more after the election--11 months later! Also the U.S. supported and aided and advised and helped the French in their early battles, the most famous of which the Dien Bien Phu. Americans believed that communist governments were not good for the well being of societies. The communist government and people of North Vietnam were threatening to take over the Democratic nation South Vietnam. America did not like the threatening expansion of comminism in South East Asia and so they helped the South Vietnam people resist the political, social and military advances of the North Vietnamese into South Vietnam. Unlike a similar situation in Korea, where the south held out against the north and subsequently prospered, the south in Vietnam could not do the same and collapsed after a long and bitter military and social confrontation. Unfortunately, a lot of money and lives were wasted for no real result. Fortunately, by the end of the Vietnam War, communist leaders were beginning to see that the socialist way of life as outlined by Carl Marx was not the best way to go, and so communist systems no longer had the power to continue their efforts for domination around the world.
