No, if France would have recognized Vietnam's claim to independence, and if the superpowers would have respected the wishes of the Vietnamese people, no superpowers would have been needed.

Everyonce in a while America finds something new to concentrate on. Since world war II there has been a pattern of America feeling scared of some sort of -ism. There was Vietnam and communism, now its Irap and terrorism. It's like to keep our country running our government feels they need to instal fear into all of the citizens. The point is no, other countries did not need to get involved. Vietnam was the first war looked at by our nation through the media and thats why it and every "war" since then has had a negative image and not that heroic, patriotic, tie a yellow ribbon around that old oak tree feeling.

No. The conflict was essentially a "civil war between communist and non-communist Vietnamese factions. "
The U.S. stepped into this conflict and escalated it to a war out of fear that all of Vietnam would become communist, which it did anyway. Keep in mind that we had been in a Cold War with the Soviet Union so Vietnam pitted the U.S., its allies and the Republic of Vietnam against the Soviet Union, its allies, the People's Republic of China and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
Our foreign policy during the Cold War included the "domino theory"--the fear that if one country fell to communism then other countries would fall to communism, just as knocking one domino over causes all the others to fall, one after another.

do no longer STARE OFF INTO area! It in basic terms makes you appear to be an fool lead them to think of you're making eye touch, yet you're somewhat no longer. you could concentration on their eyebrows, or nostril, do exactly no longer stare off into area. superb in the previous you bypass up, make a fist (yet no longer too complicated!) and in basic terms launch, and then contract it lower back. prepare inhaling with the aid of your mouth, and out with the aid of your nostril. in case you have the time/place to; Lay down on my own, and do the respiratory workout whilst imagining your self someplace different than the place you're. A sea coast or something. you would be taken aback how gentle a concrete/complicated timber floor are once you do this!

It is hard to say. Probably they should have. The alternative was to sit by and watch thousands die at the hands of evil men. It was not fought correctly but I think it was necessary
