Vietnam: another sacrifice to the Cold War

As we all should know about that after the end of WWII, two superpower nations: The United States and The Soviet Union share the most benefits over all the nations. As the war ends, the world has divided into two "sides" as well as Europe. The united states and its allies control the western part while the Soviet Union takes the Eastern part and east Berlin too. Cold War is a term describe the competition between the United States and The Soviet Union over ares such like political and military power. Through out the 50's, fear of communism spread out all over the nation. On the other hand, the Soviet Union is not satisfied for the situation in Europe. Soon, they plans to have the idea of communism distribute to the southern Asia, and than put it into action. The United States in the other hand, afraid that the communism is taking too much influence to the world, so they put into action too in order to share the idea of democrat which people own the government instead of dictatorship. Vietnam, as the result of the cold war has been divided into two parts: the north which is communism and the south which is democrat. In order to stop the communist, the U.S sends out troops to Vietnam to support the south.



No war is ended peaceful and so Vietnam. Millions of soldiers are either died or wounded in the war and civilians too. Ask for what the two superpowers gained in the war, the answer is "Nothing" because the war takes 15 years which is so much longer than the WWI & WWII. And the result is that the war ended with a peaceful treaty which is signed in Paris between two sides in 1973. Two years later (1975) , the north crossover the south, Vietnam is united which than brings communism back to Vietnam. This brings so much question to the U.S government such "What is the purpose of war?"and "Is there any explanation to the death of U.S soldiers." Until now, people in Vietnam are still suffering from the impact and there are people still suffering from the shadow of the war too.



It is true that films like Vietnam war or based on any other war are not showing all the events in accurate even documentary film. But evidences like the Vietnam war memorial field in Washington D.C is still refreshing our memory back to the painful 60's.
