Very few: WW1 was a knock-down drag out war; Vietnam was a fluid mobile war of hit and run, & quick dirty fights. WW1 ended by Armistice; Vietnam ended by an enemy victory. WW1 was virtually a twin of the Korean War: 1. Both Korea & WW1 ended by an Armistice. 2. Both Korea (jets) & WW1 (airplanes) were the FIRST aerial combat wars (dog-fights). 3. Both Korea and WW1 have become forgotten wars; both being overshadowed by Vietnam & WW2, respectively. 4. Both Korea and WW1 settled down to trench type stalemate warfare. 5. Both Korea and WW1 had reputations for mass slaughter on the battlefield. Just to name a few comparisons.
