You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly. So you could have a beginning of a disintegration that would have the most profound influences. Introducing the domino theory, that if Vietnam fell to communism...

...Vietnam War-the War against the US. The war started in 1954 and ended in 1975. The Vietnam War was a great failure to the US on both warfare and domestic issues. The history dates back to the 1940s when Vietnam was fighting for its freedom from the colonial French. The not giving in policies of French triggered the anger in Vietnamese. In the beginning of the twentieth century many has joined numbers of movements to gain back freedom. Later Vietnamese from all over the country would gather under the leader of Ho Chi Minh, (Neu, 2005, p.2). The man who led the revolutionary army of Vietnam to fight for freedom was Ho Chi Minh. He had so much influence to the country and to the world. As Charles E. Neu said of Ho around the time he was a leader “Ho became one of the great revolutionary leaders of the twentieth century”, (Neu, 2005, p.3). He was the man behind all the actions. In 1941, the Viet Minh or the Independent of Vietnam were formed under the lead of Ho Chi Minh, (Neu, 2005, p.3). Through many battles and hundreds of thousands of lives has been taken, Vietnam finally emancipated from France. On May 7, 1954 the end of the battle of Dien Bien Phu, the French had abided an astounding military and psychological lost, (Neu, 2005, p.21). It would just a beginning of a new war coming, The Vietnam War- against the US. The Vietnam War was caused by many factors the contributed the warfare in Vietnam during the year of 1959 to 1975. A major factor that caused the Vietnam War is...

...Ho Chi Minh, an advocate for the freedom of Vietnam...and communism. Yea I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about it either. My topic, Ho Chi Minh, was basically the sole reason that the Vietnam war happened, because of him trying to take leadership of Vietnam. Then, Ho Chi Minh, “He Who Enlightens”, became a symbol of Vietnam’s struggle for unification. Ho Chi Minh helped found the Indochinese Communist Party in the 1930s after he learned about Communism from studying in France(History.com/ Fitgerald, Brian). He then brought it back to his home country, Vietnam, with good intentions to spread his newfound political system. But America saw that as dangerous because Russia’s leading system, Communism, and at the current time America’s biggest enemy happened to be Russia. It’s kinda ironic that because America thinks of Ho Chi Minh as the enemy, even though his name means “He who enlightens”. Ho Chi Minh saw it has his goal to bring independence to Vietnam (NYtimes.com). But his idea of peace was to turn Vietnam into a communistic state. America didn’t think too fondly of that because they feared that Communism would take over the majority of all systems on earth. America took it in their own hands and went to Vietnam to stop Ho...

...Century. The Vietnam War was caused by many factors that contributed to the war in Vietnam during the years of 1959 to April 30, 1975. This war just prolonged the struggles between nationalist forces attempting to unify the country of Vietnam. Most of the factors that contribute to the war were the beliefs by a lot of people who wanted to prevent Vietnam of becoming an Independent Country. There are many people who suffered a lot due to this war going on and still due to this day people still picturing how they fought the war. What were the causes of the Vietnam War? Why did the United States become involved in this war? Why did the Vietnam War have such a huge impact both on the Vietnam and the United States? What was the impact that Ho Chi Minh had during the War? One of the most important features when describing the Vietnam War was why the United States became involved in the war, and their reasons for conflict amongst the Vietnamese in the North of the 17th Parallel. It is known that the US was involved for many reasons, particularly their belief in the Domino theory where if one country fell to Communism, the rest of South-East Asia would fall along with it. There are many other reasons why the United States became involved in this war. There are many reasons why the United States became involved was them being concerned with Vietnam and that would lead to the Domino Theory. The Domino Theory began when US policy-makers and most Americans considered Communism as the antithesis...

Succeeding Eisenhower, President John F. Kennedy also had to uphold a high level of responsibility especially regarding Vietnam where communist China and Russia sought control. In the 19th century, France annexed Indo-China. However, during World War II, France was overrun and became occupied by the Japanese. Indochinese nationalists opposed to both Japan and France, and joined forces to create an independent movement called Vietminh. This movement was controlled by communists despite the objections of the nationalists. The movement was led by Moscow who trained Ho Chi Minh. After World War II, France promised independence to Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, three states under the Indochina regime; with the Vietminh movement proven to be independent without France’s offers, tension arose among communist China and democratic United States. This dispute led to the Geneva Conference: Truce for Indochina. The agreement stated that Laos and Cambodia will be independent and will observe neutrality in the cold war while Vietnam will be divided at the17th parallel – with the North under a Communist government in Hanoi, and the South under a French sponsored anti-communist government in Saigon. Then in mid-1956, the people of both the North and South will vote for a single all-Vietnam government. This agreement however...

...Involvement in the Vietnam War It is the contention of this paper that the Vietnam War was agreeable or unavoidable for exactly the rationales that U.S. leaders during that time claimed it was, that is, to sustain the trustworthiness and integrity of the pledge of Washington to restrain the evil menace, communism, across the globe. In 1950s, the communist regime expanded into North Vietnam under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh. The U.S leaders at the time believed that Ho Chi Minh could barely crushed the armed forces of France in the 1950s (Moyar 2006) or provoked the United States ten years after without firepower support from Beijing and Moscow, the two major communism headquarters. Fearing of a communist takeover in Southeast Asia, the U.S leaders, particularly Lyndon B.Johnson, declared the war on North Vietnam, fully aware of the courses of action they were taking. The ideologies of Marxism-Leninism provided Mao Zedong, Leonid Brezhnev, Nikita Khrushchev, Joseph Stalin, and Ho Chi Minh a shared goal in pursuing revolutionary changes all over the world. The fame of Ho as a fervent supporter of national independence and Vietnamese unification, alongside the Soviet’s willingness to support him, established Vietnam as an especially advantageous chance (Moore & Turner 2002). With the cold war at its peak, “a world war… in which the future governance of the international system was at stake, and in which the great powers opposing the United States and its allies were the moral...

...military, diplomatic, economic and socio-cultural factors. Armed struggle for the unity and total independence started in 1946 and eventually terminated with the reunification of the country’s desire years later, which constituted the most important phase of modern colonial history resulting in the loss of French power by the end of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Indochina suffered subjugation from the Chinese, the French, and the Japanese. The events of World War II, including the defeat, humiliation, and compromise of the French, galvanized the revolutionary movements. Two worlds collided, a European colonial power and an Indo-Chinese traditional society. Vietnamese political leader, Ho Chi Minh understood the economic and social forces which he exploited for ideological purposes and on the other hand, Viet Minh out-maneuvered the formation of the Vietnamese Nationalist Party (Viet Nam Quoc Dan Dang or VNQDD) in 1927 and Indochinese communist party (Dong Doung Cong San Dang or ICP) in 1930. The rebellion began in Yen Bai, formatted by the nationalist party, peasant armed uprising and work stoppages of industrial workers resulted in the formation of the local soviet governments under the leadership of the Indochinese communist party shook Vietnamese colony. In 1858, French attacked Da Nang and ended with the appointment of Paul Doumer in 1897. First colonial possession of France in Southeast Asia took its definite shape in 1897 when Doumer implemented an old decree to institute French...

...country [France] whom we have never allied ourselves with before? In the beginning, we, as a nation, only wanted what was best for the Vietnamese, as in a functioning government, and the programs we supported and helped establish were created to do just this. Yes, if France won the war they would again resume power, but in a sense, would this not lead them back into a state of normalcy? All in all, America learned not to try and predict outcomes, because in the end, we would probably be wrong. Upon achieving favorable circumstances following World War II, Ho Chi Minh revolutionized and secured his own authority in North Vietnam. Minh noted that complete independence throughout the whole country of Vietnam would not be attained easily. The French marched right back into the Vietnamese lives to reclaim the land they had ruled over, for nearly half a century (Herring 6). The French took advantage of the Vietminh’s lack of influence in “south” Vietnam by kicking the Vietminh out of Saigon and reestablishing their own power. However, it is safe to say that France under estimated North Vietnam’s determination to create a unified government throughout all of Vietnam. The United States viewed the escalating war in Indochina with apprehension. In fact, as stated by Herring, “By early...

...Vietnam War Student Project I. Introduction Wars are fought for many reasons: to protect a nation's interests, to expand territory, to defend a country from an aggressive neighbor, to force one country to think or behave like another, to gain influence and political power. The reasons that a government has for going to war have a lot to do with how much support it gets from its people. If the general population strongly opposes a war, it is very difficult for a government to continue conducting it. Australia became involved in a war in Vietnam because our leaders were determined to stop the spread of communism in southeast Asia. Vietnam is a long, narrow country located south of China and due west of the Philippine Islands. North Vietnam, which bordered communist China, became independent of French colonial rule in 1954. So did South Vietnam. Under Ho Chi Minh, North Vietnam became a communist country which aggressively tried to spread communism to the south. Australia first tried to prevent the spread of communism in South Vietnam by sending the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam in 1962, at which point 10,000 US military troops were in place. US president Jimmy Carter and the Prime Minister of South Vietnam asked for additional help from Australia. To build up Australian forces, Sir Robert Menzies introduced national service in 1964. In April 1965, Australia dispatched its first troops to South Vietnam. When Harold Holt succeeded Menzies as Prime Minister in 1966...

...policies, disunity, inability to politicize the masses, elite-mass divide, western education Thesis: The repressive elements of colonial rule remain the critical factor for the lack of progress of pre-WWII nationalism. By impeding the progression and politicization of nationalist movements through hindering the attainment of mass support and common united front, pre-WWII nationalism was doomed to fail. The success of nationalist movements hinges on the willingness of colonial masters to concede to their accessions, but even so, weaknesses present in these nationalist movements themselves, such as factionalism, elite mass divide also prevents the formation of a solid base to challenge the colonial masters and undermines their own nationalist influence. Thus, with colonial policies as the main impediment and the weaknesses of nationalists as a ‘helping hand’, tangible progress was doomed. 1.The type of rule by the colonial masters, be it direct or indirect, both hinder the attainment of a common front, thus impeding tangible progress of nationalist movements. Direct rule tended to spur more radical political movements, but were unable to achieve progress as they were crushed, whereas indirect rule managed to keep nationalist sentiments low and faced less aggressive nationalist forces. Both cases...

In 1787, French influence became dominant and in 1802, the French helped Vietnam became unified under Emperor Gialong. His successors prosecuted Christian missionaries and, in turn, the French took over.

...ABSTRACT Despite the development of online shopping around the world, there is still a lack of understanding concerning the benefit of internet shopping in Vietnam. This study aims to compare the popularization of traditional methods of shopping with online shopping and examine the prospect of shopping online in Vietnam. A structure questionnaire was sent out randomly to students at a university in Ho Chi Minh City to collect the necessary data. The results showed that online shopping had not been favored by many people, even ones who frequently access the internet. The study also found some obstacles that limited the development of internet shopping in Vietnam. Applying the suitable ways to deal with the obstacles may help Vietnamese online suppliers attract more customers.
