The Vietnam War was a major reason for President Lyndon B Johnson
to decide not run for reelection in 1968.
The Vietnam War also known as the Second
Indochina War or simply the American War, was a war that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from
1 November 1955 to the fall
of Saigon on 30 April 1975.
The sinking of the Lusitania caused significant problems between the US and Germany. This British ocean liner (aka ship), that had American citizens on it, was sunk by a German submarine in May of 1915. This was in the midst of World War I, which the United States was trying to stay out of.
However, after this incident, it became increasingly difficult to do this since over a hundred American citizens were killed by the attack of the Lusitania by the German navy. These American citizens were not part of the war effort by any means and were considered innocent civilians.
This caused a serious of tense exchanges between the US and German government. The US blamed Germany for their abuse of power and use of submarine warfare. The German government argued that they warned America that any ship that entered a specific territory would be met with force.
Ultimately another German action, the sending of the Zimmerman Telegram, lead America into World War I.
Ok, thanks for the points
