Answer:

An iconic oil painting of the British surrender at Yorktown, now hanging in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, perfectly captures the partnership. As the grim, resigned British general at the picture’s center prepares to hand over his sword, he is flanked on one side by an array of Americans, underneath a waving Stars and Stripes flag—and on the other by French officers and volunteers, beneath the white and gold banner of France’s Bourbon monarchs.

Explanation:

Artist John Trumbull’s decision to portray the two forces as equal combatants against the British signals how much America’s founding fathers owed to the French in their battle for independence. The decision by Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier (better known as the Marquis de Lafayette) to leave France and enlist with George Washington’s forces is well-known to many. But Lafayette was only a prelude to massive French support, the forerunner of a deep relationship that proved vital to the revolution’s success. Here are five ways the French helped Americans win their freedom.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The war was not worth fighting.

Explanation:

First of all, the American military was ill-prepared for the war because it did not know well what strategy the Vietcong would use against the American soldiers, as they did not expected the war to become almost a guerrilla warfare.

Secondly, the American military and government ignored Vietnam's geography, economy, society and history, and this made it difficult to understand the context, and garner support from the Vietnamese people.

Third, the war was held in a far away country that did not pose any direct threat to American citizens

Finally, the war caused heavy casualties to both sides, including Vietnamese civilians, that did not lead to a victory, since the American military technically lost the war as it had to retreat.
