The Vietnam War TJ Rogers
= The topic that I chose for my report is the vietnam war.To support the South’s government, the United States sent in 2,000 military advisors, a number that grew to 16,300 in 1963. The military condition fell apart, and by 1963 South Vietnam had lost the fertile Mekong Delta to the Vietcong. We bombed air strikes on North Vietnam and committing ground forces, there were 536,000 soldiers in 1968. The war made many americans mad that they were sending so many men to fight in the war. = = The president took charge by withdrawing American troops and giving South Vietnam greater responsibility for fighting the war. His attempt to slow the flow of North Vietnamese soldiers and supplies into South Vietnam by sending American forces to destroy supply bases in Cambodia in 1970. It was the longest war in American history and the most unpopular American war of the twentieth century. = = It resulted in nearly 60,000 American deaths and close to 2 million Vietnamese deaths. Even today, many Americans still ask whether the American effort in Vietnam was a sin,necessary war, or a noble cause, an effort to protect the South Vietnamese from totalitarian government. = = =
