At the beginning of he war and up to early 1968, America seemed to accept the cost and sacrifices as a legitimate halt to communist expansion.

However, as the conflict dragged on - and casualties increased as did draft numbers, a large part of the population became un-supportive of the war.

Because 1969 was a presidential election year, political rhetoric grew on both sides of the war effort, and further deteriorated the public resolve to support the effort to stop communism in southeast Asia.

How did Geneva Conference cause the Vietnam war?

The Geneva Conference of 1954 aimed to resolve conflicts in Indochina, resulting in the temporary division of Vietnam at the 17th parallel into communist North Vietnam and anti-communist South Vietnam. This division was intended to be temporary, but it solidified the ideological split and fueled tensions between the two regions. The failure to hold national elections, as initially agreed, led to increased hostility, with the North supporting the Viet Cong insurgency in the South. Ultimately, these circumstances contributed to the escalation of military involvement by the United States, marking the beginning of the Vietnam War.

Natural rubber from the numerous rubber trees in Vietnam certainly may have been a factor in the French Indochina War (also called the 1st Indochina War) 1946-1954. But it had nothing to do with the American Vietnam War (1955-1975).
