Vietnam War / The War We Could Not Win -- Why It Really Ended
Number of pages:
9
ABSTRACT:
In this insightful 9 page paper, the writer discusses how utterly defeated the U.S. was by its enemies in Vietnam and how unable the America military was to protect itself from guerrilla warfare. It is argued that it was actually a combination of factors that led to U.S. withdrawal from Nam and no one singular event, group, or person was exclusively responsible. President Nixon played at least some role as did the wartime protesters, but neither achieved what we are commonly led to believe. The protesters were unsuccessful in changing the attitude of American politicians and the Presidency was unsuccessful in achieving any worthwhile conclusion to the War. In short, the U.S. was left with nothing else to do but withdraw. Specific events and political controversy from that troubled era are discussed in great detail. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
