Answer:

The answer is...

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The United States had provided funding, armaments, and training to South Vietnam's government and military since Vietnam's partition into the communist North and the democratic South in 1954. Tensions escalated into armed conflict between the two sides, and in 1961 U.S. President John F.

2. Congress authorized troop deployment in Vietnam, but, because it did not issue a declaration of war on North Vietnam or the Viet Cong, the Vietnam War is, technically speaking, not considered a war in the United States.

3. Technically It depends on the viewers point of view if they believe the U.S. won then they are kinda right, but if they think Vietnam won then they would be kinda right too. It just depends on the viewers P.O.V.

4. About 3,091,000 war deaths between 1955–1975

Hope this helped
