Soldiers from were sent to South Vietnam?

Answer 1

Because Vietnam just had a fight so the united states sent some troops to Vietnam to guard the boarder.

Even before it fell to communism Truman and written up a policy of containment called the Truman Doctrine which stated that the USA would help any country being threatened by communism
Because north Vietnam attacked an American destroyer off the bay of Tonkin this gave LBJ a good enough reason to get the permission of congress to invade Vietnam also they didn't want South Vietnam to fall to communism as they believed that if S. Vietnam fell it would start a domino reaction that would cause more countries in Asia to become communist. Another reason was that jfk had been sending in "military advisors" into Vietnam for years and he wanted to step up what JFK had already done.
Before he sent in troops he launched Operation rolling thunder which was bombing runs on major N. Vietnamese cities and factories to prevent them from supplying the Vietcong..

Answer 3

US troops were originally sent to South Vietnam in 1955 by President Eisenhower to bolster the new (Republic) of South Vietnam's new government, in it's already existing fight against communist aggression.

Both the North and the South were created by the ending of the French Indochina War in 1954. Once the South was firmly established as a permanent independent nation (a republic) in 1955...trouble was immediate, and Eisenhower commenced battle against communism immediately.

The trouble was small, covert, and guerrilla in nature; but like a cancer it kept growing. Then 02 August 1964 came along, and torpedo boat units from the North Vietnamese Navy conducted a machinegun & torpedo attack against the destroyer USS Maddox in the Tonkin Gulf. An alleged second torpedo boat followed on the 4th of August. This one may have been radar ghosts (referred to as Tonkin Ghosts by US Sailors); but the damage was already done; LBJ got his "Tonkin Gulf Resolution" passed by the 7th, and open warfare commenced immediately between the countries of North Vietnam & the United States.
