Detailed explanation-1: -The Korean and Vietnam war are very similar in that both were the US’s attempt to fight communism by waging war in a distant third world country. Both wars were unpopular in the US and both led to a lack of victory.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Korean War and the Vietnam War-both “proxy wars” between the communist and capitalist camps and therefore significant parts of the Cold War-are among the fiercest military conflicts of the last century.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the end, even though the American effort to block a communist takeover failed, and North Vietnamese forces marched into Saigon in 1975, communism did not spread throughout the rest of Southeast Asia. With the exception of Laos and Cambodia, the nations of the region remained out of communist control.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the end, the Korean War resulted in a return to the status quo for North and South Korea, but several important precedents were established. The United States determined that it would use military force to stop the spread of Communism.
Detailed explanation-5: -In what ways were the causes and effects of the wars in Korea and Vietnam similar? They were both caused by civil wars between Nationalists and Communists and Communists still ruled in both countries after the war.
