Why did President Johnson believe that the U.S. military would easily defeat the Viet Cong?

History
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Because Johnson was thinking in terms of conventional warfare.  He thought that because his army was larger, his air force was tougher and better trained, his navy was massively larger, the equipment provided to his troops infinitely better, there would be no contest.

He did not understand 2 things about Vietnam.

1. He forgot that the Vietnamese had been fighting the French (and beating them). The French in effect had changed the Vietnamese into battle hardened soldiers.

2. The Vietnamese fought a guerrilla style of warfare. The came the delivered hard jabs and disappeared into the night. Conventional war tools don't easily adapt to that kind of warfare.

1. What effects did the Voting Rights Act have?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

It outlawed the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests as a prerequisite to voting. This “act to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution” was signed into law 95 years after the amendment was ratified.

It helped reduce voter discrimination at polling sites. It contributed to increased involvement of lobbyists in political campaigns. The Voting Rights Act itself has been called the single most effective piece of civil rights legislation ever passed by Congress.

Hope this helps! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart to help my account if it did!!
