What did American leaders during the Cold War think about the political situation in Vietnam?

History
1 answer:
Sidana [21]3 years ago
4 0

They thought that if Communist leaders took control of Vietnam, all of Southeast Asia would ultimately ally with the Soviet Union.

Explanation:

During the Cold War period, Vietnam was highly divided internally, having the Communists on one side, and the King on the other side. Both sides enjoyed big support, with the Communists dominating in the north, and the King in the south. The Communists wanted to make Vietnam a Communist country and ally with the Soviets, while the King wanted to preserve his royal power and be in good relations with the Western democracies.

The United States entered a war with Vietnam, and the main reason for that was to stop the spread of Communism in the country, as they feared that once Vietnam is Communist and allied with the Soviets, the rest of Southeast Asia will follow. The Communists in Vietnam manged to win the war, embarrassing the United States, and established Communism in the country. The results were not as devastating in the region as the United States' officials thought they would be though.

Countries in Southeast Asia that adopted Communism were:

  • Cambodia
  • Laos

Countries that didn't accepted Communism were:

  • Thailand
  • Burma
  • Malaysia
  • Indonesia
  • Singapore
  • the Philippines
  • Brunei

Why were countries competing for colonization of Africa during Imperialism?
nexus9112 [7]

Between the 1870s and 1900, Africa faced European imperialist aggression, diplomatic pressures, military invasions, and eventual conquest and colonization. At the same time, African societies put up various forms of resistance against the attempt to colonize their countries and impose foreign domination. By the early twentieth century, however, much of Africa, except Ethiopia and Liberia, had been colonized by European powers.

The European imperialist push into Africa was motivated by three main factors, economic, political, and social. It developed in the nineteenth century following the collapse of the profitability of the slave trade, its abolition and suppression, as well as the expansion of the European capitalist Industrial Revolution. The imperatives of capitalist industrialization—including the demand for assured sources of raw materials, the search for guaranteed markets and profitable investment outlets—spurred the European scramble and the partition and eventual conquest of Africa. Thus the primary motivation for European intrusion was economic.
