Vietnam War
1954-1975 The Vietnam War was a long armed
conflict that pitted the communist North
Vietnam and its southern allies, known as the
Viet Cong, against South Vietnam and ally, the
United States. At one point we had 500,000
Americans over fighting in this war. This also
brought disputes to the US deciding whether its
worth staying in this long drawn out war.
President Nixon ordered the withdraw of
soldiers in 1973. 1975 communist forces took
control of Saigon ending the war.
