Detailed explanation-1: -Hours after Japan’s surrender in World War II, Vietnamese communist Ho Chi Minh declares the independence of Vietnam from France.
Detailed explanation-2: -In March 1965, Johnson made the decision-with solid support from the American public-to send U.S. combat forces into battle in Vietnam. By June, 82, 000 combat troops were stationed in Vietnam, and military leaders were calling for 175, 000 more by the end of 1965 to shore up the struggling South Vietnamese army.
Detailed explanation-3: -It was a direct result of the First Indochina War (1946–1954) between France, which claimed Vietnam as a colony, and the communist forces then known as Viet Minh. In 1973 a “third” Vietnam war began-a continuation, actually-between North and South Vietnam but without significant U.S. involvement.
