=﻿ Brandon Panepucci﻿ = The Vietnam War was split into two groups the Communist North and the Demacratic South. A series of events led up to the war between these two colonies. It didn't just include the Vietnamese it included the Americans, Austrilians, and a few other nations. The Americans supported the largely unpopular southern democrats, and though they ment to keep there involvement very limited they ended up sending millions and millions of soldiers to Vietnam to prevent communism from spreading.

With the Vietcong attack of an us base in Pleiku. The Americans were now fully involved and the operation flaming dart came next. In April Johnson sent more than 40 thousand troops to Vietnam.In June Johnson was asked to send in more troops.America had to plundge directly into the war which was a better option at the time. More than 2 million Vietnamese died in the war. America spent more than 164 billion dollars during the war. Still today there is still lands filled with land mines and exploding bombs. The marshlands and jungles have all been destroyed. All the Vietnamese buildings were destroyed and many people were left homeless.
