It is like Nixon said, "no event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War." I can't give a clear answer but I do have some food for thought which may paint a big picture.

1. You have to keep in mind that Vietnam was not about who killed more troops.

If the winner of the Vietnam war was declared by who killed more troops than the U.S. would win hands down. The U.S. casualties were roughly half a million, where as the Vietcong suffered a little more than a million. Then how did we lose?

2. Keep in mind that at this time technology has improved and Vietnam is the first war where people are watching it go on right at home on there television screen.

They are seeing their sons being shot and viewing dead soldiers every single day.

You did not see this in WW1 or WW2 or the Korena War.

What two things did former British prime minister Winston Churchill affirm in his Iron Curtain speech?

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The two things He did was he affirmed the building of iron curtain by soviet and that the Europe would be against it.

Explanation:

In his Iron Curtain speech, Winston Churchill affirmed his wish to side with the United States against the Soviet Union and his belief that only the United States possessed nuclear weapons.

Winston Churchill used the Iron Curtain expression to refer to the border, not only physical but also ideological, that divided Europe into two blocks after World War II. Churchill popularized the term at a conference in the United States in 1946, when he said:

"From Stettin, in the Baltic, to Trieste, in the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has fallen on the continent"

The frontier of which Churchill spoke divided the socialist states, headed politically, economically and militarily by the Soviet Union, and the capitalist states, aligned with the United States.
