What was the Historical significance of Vietnam conflict?
The Vietnam war ushered the U.S. Military into an entirely new method of conflict - low intensity, small-unit skirmishes rather than large front lines with multiple division-sized units moving toward each other. This 'guerilla warfare' as it came to be known forced the Army, the Marines, and other fighting planners to reconfigure - and introduced the dawn of helicopter warfare to the U.S. arsenal.
How far is Vietnam from the closet point of Australia?
About the same distance as driving from California to Alabama. Or roughly, around 1700 miles.
What presidency was destroyed by the war in Vietnam?
Lyndon Johnson's presidency is generally thought to have been destroyed by the Vietnam War. He had plans for what he called The Great Society, however constant problems of the Vietnam War prevented him from achieving this lofty goal. His administration was constantly criticized for continuing the war to the point where the war was practically the only issue being addressed by him.
How long did the Vietnam War last?
The U.S. sent funding and military support to French forces in Vietnam starting in 1950. By 1961 the US had military advisors stationed in Vietnam. The US did not become fully involved as a military force until 1965. The French fought for roughly 11 years prior to that. There is also the point that there have been military actions between North and South Vietnam hundreds of years before the French became involved.144 days????
War has never achieved anythingand never will?
Warfare has achieved many things: Whether it has been of benefit to all in the course of events is a moot point. Warfare is the ultimate failure of Diplomacy. Might is right & God is on the side of the big battalions & the winners write the history books..... All suggest a negative answer to your question.
