Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -These wars, the Korean War (1950-1953) and the Vietnam War (1955-1975) are called proxy wars. In a proxy war opposing powers (like the United States and the Soviet Union) use other countries as substitutes for fighting each other directly.
Detailed explanation-3: -The similarities of the two wars were the same ideological background, the confrontation of two super nations, the US and the URSS, and their economic and political systems. Vietnam War was the prolonged struggle and lasted more than 10 years, while the Korean War – only three.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
