The number of troops that the United States sent to the Vietnam War in 1968 exceeded half a million with 540,000 troops.

<h3>What was the Vietnam War?</h3>

The Vietnam War was a military conflict that began in 1955 and ended in 1975 to reunify Vietnam under a communist government.

This war pitted the communist government of North Vietnam and its allies in South Vietnam, known as the Viet Cong, backed by China and the Soviet Union, against the government of South Vietnam and its main ally, the United States and other allied nations.

This was one of the cruelest wars in history due to the total deaths between 966,000 and 3,010,000 Vietnamese, 58,159 Americans, among others.

One of the reasons for the escalation of this war was the increase in troops to win the contest. In the case of the United States, which began with just 11,000 troops in 1962, by 1968 it had already sent more than half a million troops, close to 540,000.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

What were the primary methods that the U.S. Government, as well as individual reformers, used to deal with the perceived Indian threat to westward settlement?

The first strategy that was used by settlers to perceive Indians was to negotiate and move tribes out of their way. The First Treaty of Fort Laramie was “signed”, it established tribal borders in return for 50 thousand dollars annual payments for 50 years. Settlers also promised not to interfere in Indians lives.

In what ways were these methods successful and unsuccessful? What were their short-term and long-term effects on Native Americans?

The short-term effect was that The First Treaty of Fort Laramie was broken because of government corruption, the payments that were agreed never reached the tribes and some reservations were not respected. Settlers went forward forced Indian tribes out of their land.

The long term effect was that Native American tribes were pushed and pushed “out of the way” until they were completely destroyed and killed sometimes.

For the settlers, those methods were successful because they did not fulfill their agreements which permitted them to get more land and have more money.
