what effect did the Vietnam war have on countries other than Vietnam?

Answer 1

Some neighboiring countries (Laos and Cambodia) were affected directly; the U.S. bombed them. But the greatest effect was on the U.S. itself; thousands of veterans returning home with a condition that later became known as post-traumatic stress disorder, bitter disagreements between the proponents and opponents of the war, thousands of young people leaving the U.S. (some going as far as Sweden) to avoid draft, thousands more that misunderstood the difference between dissidence and crime...

Answer 2

All of them basically, it was the first war if you could call it that where Us as americans looked bad to most other countries. Its when the world started to see america as a place that wants its hands in other countries pockets. I meen no disrespect to any of the vets or the brave men and woman who died there, cause they fought with honor but to the government they made the wrong choice. just like with the war in Iraq
