Guerilla Warfare tactics were used by Northern Vietnam forces during the Vietnam War. These tactics proved to be very effective against the alliance of Southern Vietnam forces with the US Army.

As a response to this, President John F. Kennedy authorized "Operation Ranch Hand", which consisted of deploying herbicides which caused forest defoliation. This action had the purpose of leaving the Vietnamese Guerillas without resources, as well as land that they could use in their advantage.

The aftermath of this operation was highly damaging to the environment, as well as causing health issues to millions of Vietnamese citizens.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Radicalism can be defined as the actions and beliefs of people who advocate complete political reform. During 1890s to 1945, some radical groups had ties with two great political parties in America. The populist party  and the Democratic party.

Explanation:

The populist party called for the abolition of national banks, civil service reform, and government control of railways this was supported by William Jennings Bryan and some other leaders in the Democratic party.

Futhermore, some major trade unions were linked to the Democratic party like the American Federation of Labor.

The American Civil Liberties Union was formed in 1921 when more radical organisations were subject to violent attacks especially during world war 1, to protect immigrants that were threatened with deportation and American nationals  that were threatened with criminal charges.
