Answer 1

The right answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Vietnam War occupies a special place in the history of armed conflicts joined by the United States. It was the first war broadcast live on American TV, images were uncensored, and this fact strengthened opposition to the war. The conflict became protracted , US casualties mounted, and to millions of citizens, the purpose of the war was not clear beyond the fact that American troops were fighting against Communists. After the Paris Peace Agreements, the US withdrew most of its forces in 1973. Two years later, Saigon - the capital of US ally Republic of South Vietnam - fell to the Communists from North Vietnam. The ghost of Vietnam has hunted down the USA since then and there has been a controversy about military involvement in conflicts, the public is very sensitive about the loss of American lives.
