Overall Eisenhower increased American involvement in Vietnam compared to Truman.
In 1953 he had effectively ended the Korean War by withdrawing US troops, a very popular move back in the US. This would suggest he wanted to have less involvement in Indochina, even if only to gain popularity.
However, in 1954, France demanded more assistance from Eisenhower as she struggled at Dien Bien Phu against the Vietminh. Eisenhower gave more support than Truman had before him, though he did NOT send in ground troops. There are several main reasons for Eisenhower's increased involvement in Vietnam...
His actions were not totally supported at home - some felt that Vietnam wasn't important to the prevention of Communism (it wasn't mentioned in the list of countries that should be protected in Kennan's 'long telegram' in 1946). Also, the war on Communism wasn't completely popular; his pulling-out from Korea had been well-received.
But overall, he did indeed increase involvement in Vietnam.
Vietnam was not a war it was an action.
they were used to spark protest against America's involvement in the Vietnam War
He introduced the first US Military Advisers to the country, intelligence support and Air America.
The fear of being invaded was not a justification for the increase in US involvement in Vietnam. The US withdrew from Vietnam in 1975.
False, US involvement in Vietnam was not reduced during the Kennedy administration.
