Answer 2

Answer:

The Vietnam War affected the attitude of Americans toward future conflicts around the world in that Americans have been less willing to intervene in the affairs of other countries.

Explanation:

This situation is called the Vietnam Syndrome.

The Vietnam Syndrome is known as the feeling of defeat and impotence suffered by American society in the 1970s and early 1980s after the defeat in the Vietnam War.

These facts established the future behavior of the nation in the coming wars, since it would be quite embarrassing for the US to get involved in another foreign conflict without really defining both the political and military objectives in an effective way.

For this reason the different administrations were very reluctant to intervene in the countries of Central and South America such as Nicaragua or Peru; where the opposition guerrillas tried and, in the case of Nicaragua, managed to overthrow the governments related to the United States.

They would also need the approval of the American society, in order not to be in the same situation of internal conflict that was generated during the Vietnam War. This went from the recruitment system to the professional army.
