People’s Republic of China- The Cold War in Asia Civil War in China- Chiang Kai Shek- Mao Tse Tung- Republic of China- People’s Republic of China- SEATO- Vietnam

United States v Soviet Union Vietnam War (80) As a part of containment, this war would be fought between 1955-1975 with the US involvement mostly in the ’60’s and early ’70’s.

United States v Soviet Union Vietnam War (80) Like Korea, the North was supported by the Chinese and Soviets, while the South was supported by the United States. handout

United States v Soviet Union Geneva Accords (80) Established Indochina with a northern zone: led by the Communist group, Viet Minh in the north, and the south to be led by the State of Vietnam (supported by the US). A line at the 17th parallel would separate the two sections.

United States v Soviet Union Ho Chi Minh (80) President of North Vietnam from 1945-1965 (died in 1969). Founded the Communistic society, as it defeated the French in 1954, and later made the Americans withdraw.

United States v Soviet Union Kennedy John F. Kennedy Began sending advisors and equipment, but did not send troops. He did support a coup.

United States v Soviet Union Johnson Lyndon B. Johnson Was granted great war powers by congress, then quickly began escalation of troops.

United States v Soviet Union Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (80) A resolution passed by the Congress in 1964 allowing the president (LBJ) to raise troop levels in Southeast Asia without declaring war.

United States v Soviet Union Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (80) The U.S. navy had accused North Vietnamese boats of attacking American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. (Some if not all of these claims have been questioned, yet the president could now rapidly raise American involvement in Vietnam). Handout video

United States v Soviet Union Tet Offensive (80) In January of 1968, North Vietnamese and Vietcong (N. Vietnamese fighters in South Vietnam) forces launched a counter-offensive in cities throughout the South.

United States v Soviet Union Tet Offensive (80) Tet was the Vietnamese lunar year that had just started. This offensive convinced the majority of Americans that the war was NOT going well as they had been told.

United States v Soviet Union Bombing of Cambodia (80) As a response to the Tet Offensive, Nixon ordered bombings in Cambodia and Laos where North Vietnamese soldiers were seeking refuge in these neutral countries. This bombing was very much disapproved back at home.

United States v Soviet Union Napalm and Agent Orange (80) napalm - a mixture of a gelling agent and petroleum for use in an incendiary device. It sticks to skin and causes severe burns when on fire.

United States v Soviet Union Napalm and Agent Orange (80) agent orange -  one of the herbicides and defoliants used by the U.S. military as part of its herbicidal warfare program. 20,000,000 gallons were sprayed during the Vietnam War. It was used to destroy foliage hiding North Vietnamese and crops being used to feed the enemy.

United States v Soviet Union Nixon Richard M. Nixon Began “Vietnamization.” Spread war to Cambodia and Laos. Oversaw withdrawal of all American troops.

United States v Soviet Union Vietnamization Nixon’s plan was to train more South Vietnamese in their army and give them better weapons. Then, they could bear the brunt of the casualties. 1. “peace with honor” 2. bombed urban areas 3. spread war to Laos and Cambodia 4. replaced the draft with a lottery handout

United States v Soviet Union Henry Kissinger (80) National Security Advisor and Secretary of State to Richard Nixon. 1. pioneered détente with the Soviets 2. opened political relations with China 3. negotiated the Paris Peace Accords ending the war in Vietnam (for the U.S.) 4. won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973
