Question

How might imperialism be one of the causes of the Vietnam War?

Answer 1

Explanation:Imperialism could be one of the causes of the Vietnam War due to the bidding of ideologies where South Vietnam was against Communism and North Vietnam was in favor. The United States through the authoritarianism and control imposed on these countries carried out military incursions in Vietnam, which caused malaise to the North Vietnam.

Such events brought with it the famous Vietnam War that began in 1955 and ended in 1975 and that resulted in the death of more than 5 million people and the disappearance of South Vietnam and, as it were, the defeat of the United States by part of North Vietnam.

Answer 2

Vietnam was a colony attempting to gain independence.

The conflict began as an independence movement of the Vietnamese against the French who held Vietnam as a colony since 1887.

France declared Vietnam's independence in 1954 but the US and the West wanted to keep control of the resources and area of Vietnam. US involvement was an attempt to keep Vietnam on the side of the West instead of becoming a Communist country as they were moving toward.
