George Washington, John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison are typically counted as "Founding Fathers", but none of them signed the Declaration of Independence.

General George Washington was Commander of the Continental Army, and was defending New York City in July 1776. As instructed by John Hancock, Washington read the Declaration of Independence to the army on July 9th.

Presumably he was rather busy as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, a position to which he was appointed in June, 1775. The fighting was underway well before the Declaration of Independence was signed in July (or August, or November, depending on who you ask) of 1776. The battles of Lexington and Concord in April, 1775 are usually considered to mark the beginning of the war.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The Fall of Saigon and the entire south in 1975 would lead to communist victory and unification in the new Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Explanation:

The Democratic Republic of Vietnam, also known as North Vietnam, was a socialist state founded by Hồ Chí Minh in Hanoi on September 2, 1945, with the Japanese withdrawal from French Indochina.

After the agreements reached at the Geneva Conference (1954), the French withdrew from Indochina and Vietnam was divided into two states: one to the north and one to the south, the Republic of Vietnam. The communist attempt to unify both states under the hegemony of the socialist state would lead to the intervention of the United States in favor of the south, which would lead to the Vietnam War. The Fall of Saigon and the entire south in 1975 would lead to communist victory and unification in the new Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Communist China and the Soviet Union influenced the new state from the beginning, while both states sought to turn North Vietnam into their satellite state.
