Vietnam remains America’s biggest shame, before Iraq
After the Second World War, the United States and Soviet Union started an era of cold war between the two. The ‘Domino Theory’ made US to engage in a war game with Communist ideologue nations. As part of her wider strategy of containment, the US moved into Vietnam fighting with South Vietnam against the Communist North Vietnam. US President John F. Kennedy started supplying arms and advisors to South Vietnam in 1961 against the reunifying goal of North Vietnam. The fight escalated when North Vietnam launched an attack against the C. Turner Joy and the U.S.S. Maddox, two American ships, in 1964. US had superior warfare technology. Even then, the North Vietnamese forces were triumphant in fighting a prolonged, guerilla-style war. American forces faced a major debacle in the Tet Offensive in 1968, in which major South Vietnam cities were successfully targeted. On the other hand, the South Vietnamese continued to fight the Communists until the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. North Vietnam won the war and reunited South Vietnam.
