Wow - you have asked this question six times already!

Have you still not gotten a satisfactory answer?

For starters, the Republic of China failed to stop Communism in China because the Chinese Nationalist Party (GMD or KMT) was not a popular government, and was led by a dictator (Chiang Kai-shek), whose government was corrupt, and whose inability to share power meant a 22-year long civil war which they lost in spite of the millions of dollars of U.S. aid. The Chinese people chose the Communists instead of the Nationalists. Once the Nationalists retreated to Taiwan - there was no way they could stop Communism alone.

The story of the Republic of Vietnam has some similarities to that of China. The so-called "Republic of Vietnam" was really one man - Ngo Dinh Diem - a dictator assuming total power over the southern region of the artifically-divided nation of Vietnam. Like Chiang Kai- Shek and the Nationalists in China, Diem was not a popular leader (a catholic in a nation of Buddhists) and his government was corrupt. Positions of power were given to those whose loyalty was bought, and not to the people who could perform well.

After Diem's assassination in Nov., 1963 - the "Republic of Vietnam" was essentially leaderless for 4 years. The U.S. had to take control of the war, or else its "investment" in South Vietnam's "democracy" would be lost. But the U.S. and the Vietnamese failed to understand the VC, and even with the increase of U.S. troops in the year 1965 and after, the North Vietnamese were always able to funnel in more soldiers to the south.

In both cases the losers: Nationalist China, and the Republic of Vietnam underestimated their enemy's will to fight and win.

I will stop here, since the wars in China, and Vietnam lasted over 20 years each. I cannot and will not do your History project for you - I just wanted to give you some ideas - as you asked for. Hopefully others will help you with more information on the Korean War - I am not as familiar with it.
