The call came out, for "...more men!", after 500,000 men, we thought we could win. We saw the "handwriting on the wall" during the TET offensive of 1968; and prepared to get serious about with drawing from Vietnam.
The very same US Military men that fought in WWII, were leading GIs in Vietnam; they won WWII with Firepower! And they believed in firepower. And they believed that they could defeat the communists with firepower. And so we used firepower until we withdrew from the war...firepower....firepower
After the cease-fire, the United States continued to send military and economic aid to South Vietnam.
The fear of being invaded was not a justification for the increase in US involvement in Vietnam. The US withdrew from Vietnam in 1975.
the us government withdrew all troops from Vietnam, because the enemies guerrilla tactics made it a one sided war. We were losing countless soldiers in a war that didnt directly affect us, until the american citizens protested over having their loved ones and countless others sent to a country on the other side of the world.
After the US withdrew from Vietnam the Vietcong came into power. South Vietnam fell under communist rule by the Vietcong.
The US is NOT at war with Iraq. The US was at war with North Vietnam.
Because they didn't have enough time to leave Vietnam during the Vietnam War
1975
Japan left Vietnam because the US won the Vietnam War. The US effectively kicked them out of the area. This was preventing China from invading Vietnam as well.
because the vietnameese people were scared and didnt know what to do
they didnt have their teddy bears
No, they agreed to leave with in a 60 day period.
The sooner the South Vietnamese were able to defend themselves against their northern relatives, the sooner the US could leave.

President Eisenhower sent US troops to Vietnam in 1955, President Ford pulled out the last US troops in 1975.
