Which president ordered a continuous bombing campaign over North Vietnam and sent the first combat troops to South Vietnam?
Lyndon Johnson :) hope I helped!!!! Have a good day!
Who sent the first troops into Vietnam?
Dwight Eisenhower sent the first advisers to Vietnam. John F Kennedy sent the first US Green Berets to Vietnam. We could've not have to worry about the Vietnam but the US signed a document saying that the US will help with war with communism without hesitation.
Why did the opposition after the Vietnam War affect President Johnson?
President Johnson did NOT like the Vietnam War; He didn't like to talk about it, he didn't want to hear about it, and he didn't want "...to send American Boys to fight a war that Asian Boys should be fighting..." to quote one of his televised broadcasts. Johnson wanted to concentrate on HOME MATTERS; primarily his "Great Society." Vietnam angered him so much, he refused to remain President of the United States after his first term expired.
When was the Battle of Dien Bien Phu?
The Battle of Dien Bien Phu was fought from March 13 to May 7, 1954, and was the decisive engagement of the First Indochina War (1946-1954), the precursor to the Vietnam War.
Who was the most effective president in the cold war and who was the least?
Truman was effective, he resisted the communists with military force in the Korean War. Eisenhower was effective, he sent the first US Servicemen to Vietnam in 1955. Kennedy was effective, he sent the Green Beret (Special Forces) to Vietnam in 1961. Nixon was effective, he took General LeMay's words seriously, and B-52'd the North Vietnamese Government back to the negotiating table (LeMay's words were, "...bomb them back into the stone age..."). Johnson was effective with his Tonkin Gulf Resolution approval, and his Air War offensive in 1965, Operation Rolling Thunder (Bombing campaign over North Vietnam). But he became "least" effective when he let the Vietnam War destroy his administration; in essence he quit. Johnson went on nation wide public television and stated that he would no longer serve as president for the American people. He hated the Vietnam War, and was fed-up with it!
