Detailed explanation-1: -The Vietnam War started in 1954 when Northern forces invaded the South and ended more than two decades later when South Vietnam surrendered in 1975.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Vietnam War may have defined 1960s and 1970s America, but it lasted 10 years by the most widely accepted metric (and, officially, it was never a war at all). And while World War I and II may have killed far more American troops, the fighting didn’t linger for a decade and a half.
Detailed explanation-3: -America’s direct eight-year intervention in the Vietnam War was at an end. In Saigon, some 7, 000 U.S. Department of Defense civilian employees remained behind to aid South Vietnam in conducting what looked to be a fierce and ongoing war with communist North Vietnam.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Vietnam War was the longest war in American history and the most unpopular American war of the 20th century. It resulted in nearly 60, 000 American deaths and an estimated 2 million Vietnamese deaths.
