The 1970s consisted of many important historical events including: the end of the Vietnam War (1954-1975), the presidency of Richard Nixon (1969-1974), and the Watergate Scandal (1972). During this time, the nation was constantly changing. The end of the Vietnam War was approaching in the 1970s.

The Vietnam War was one of the longest wars that went on history. It lasted from November 1955- April 1975. According to Historynet, 58,200 members of the U.S. military were killed in the Vietnam War. All for what exactly? In my own opinion, I do not think the U.S. should have gotten involved.

This war goes down in

When a war starts only one can come out victories. America as shown over and over again that they can take on anyone and that they aren’t afraid to fight. Like in both world wars America came out victories and showed they could stand and fight. But through their victories they gained a arrogance that they couldn’t be stopped. When America entered the Vietnam war they got a gut check and were shown that they can be stopped. Both the world wars showed everyone that America is a power house and is not

Choosing Cowardice Individuals cannot learn to properly love themselves without first being loved by another through acts of kindness, but being loved by others does not automatically guarantee self-love. Loving oneself is a choice. As such, without having been shown kindness by someone else, without having been given the ability to choose the option to love oneself, one’s destiny remains fated.

Throughout history the US has fought many wars for example, the US revolution, the Civil War, WWI, WWII and the cold war these are all wars, but none of them compare to the war between the US and Vietnam. Why would the world most powerful country see Vietnam as a threat? This is the question that many were asking.

For many, the Vietnam War was unwinnable, I agree with this statement to a large extent. The Vietnam War began on the 1st of November 1955 to the 30th of April 1975. The war killed 521 men and wounded over 3,000 during the 10 long years. The harsh conditions, fighting on enemy soil and the media played a significant role in the failure of preventing the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong taking over Vietnam and turning it into a communist country with fear it could lead to a domino effect.
