Answer: The war in Vietnam was difficult to fight due to the fact that the terrain was so harsh that it made the americans struggle to survive. There were 58,209 American deaths in the Vietnam war. 10,875 of them were not combat related. 1,207 died of drowning or suffocation. 482 died of illness. 118 died of Malaria.
Explanation:
There were a few causes that led to the American declaration of war against the British in 1812. At this time Britain was at war with France and attempted to cut off trade between the US and France. Additionally at sea the British were impressing US seamen or forcing them to become part of the British Royal Navy. Another cause of the war was that the British were helping to arm Native Americans to prevent American expansion westward. As a result of these forces the U.S. eventually went to war with Great Britain.
I think it was in 1964, that was when direct army confrontation happened. This was followed by several more conflicts that made use of heavy fighting naval and aircraft with the Gulf of Tonkin resolution that made military measures necessary. There were an estimated 40, 000 deaths and 20, 000 other casualties.
I'm torn between a and b, because they both happened in that time period.
