The Vietnam War
1955-1975

The Vietnam War, a war the U.S. should never have fought in. It took place from 1955 through 1975. At first there wasn't too much involvement for the U.S. in the early years. But as time grew, the war did too. At the turn of the decade, the U.S. really started to fly over seas. Every year, the number of troops nearly doubled and tripled for three years. Many lives were lost. At first the fighting was mainly between the French and North Vietnam. The French were trying to defend South Vietnam. So did the U.S. The reason for this is because North Vietnam at this time was communist. I'll get more into the fighting in the next post.
