History

Answer:

The Viet Cong was better at fighting a guerrilla warfare, while the US was better at fighting open terrain and urban combat.

Explanation:

You must remember that the US fought the Viet Cong during the Vietnam war, in which the country was (& still mostly is) surrounded by dense jungles, which the US rarely fought in following WW2. This led to a deficit in the US military, as few had any experience in fighting inside the jungle, while the Viet Cong was fighting on their home turf, which meant that they knew the area a lot more better. This led to the US using harmful chemical weapons to clear the land (usually Agent Orange), but advances in the jungle was limited.

However, when fighting in urban combat, the US excelled in such a way that they were able to almost crush the Viet Cong. However, because of media misrepresentation, and US public opinion, the US public was given the information that they were actually losing, and so they demanded a withdrawal from the war. This occurred, and South Vietnam fell to the communist regime soon after.

Marizza181 [45]
By forming various organizations.

The European Union, for example, unites Europe (Minus Britain these days) under one banner, thus preventing fighting.

A more direct example is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO protects the "North Atlantic" and Europe from terrorists and invading countries by using the combined military strength of multiple nations.

What trends/characteristics of humanity changed over time and which ones stayed the same
mote1985 [20]

(A quote from an anonymous says : “Over time things change, but some things always stay the same.” From the Era of Foragers, to our Modern Era, our ability to

communicate, organize, create, and destroy have in many ways been altered and also stayed the same. From history we all can now look back and actually see how much things have already been altered, and we can also notice how many things have also remained the same. Some things that will probably always be the same are our race’s ability to be technologically creative. We have an imagination that will virtually never run out, and allows us to always think of new things to change, make, or get rid of to make our lives more convenient. However things that we’re creating or things that we’ve already created are always going to change the way we live.
