Nam
The Vietnam Conflict lasted from 1950 to 1975. In 1950 France lost to Nam and they gained back their independence. The U.S. went to nam in 1964. Because the north had invaded the south. The north was the communist side. Starting in the early 60s, we started escalating into the war. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave President Johnson the right to do what he wanted to during the war. The war was very difficult for us to tell if the Vietnamese were civilians or killers. The Vietcong attacked all the cities in south nam. We dominated nam in the Tet Offensive. Ho Chi Minh was the leader of nam. Nixon called for us to leave at let nam fight each other. In 1975 north took over the south and it became communist. We went there to help the french and stop the spread of communism.
