When America got a crushing defeat in the war in this country of South Asia, the battle lasted for 20 years

The mutual animosity between America and China, which is seen reaching its peak today, is the result of the history of both of them. At present, both the countries are face to face regarding Taiwan. No one knows how long he will be able to keep himself away from a state of war over this issue. It is also difficult to say if there is a war on the issue of Taiwan, what will be the result. However, it is very special here that this is not the first time that these two countries are standing face to face with a third country or on the verge of war. Earlier in November 1955, both of them had clashed for the third country. This war lasted for 20 years. In history it is known as the Vietnam War.

Vietnam War and America

The Vietnam War started on 1 November 1955 and ended on 30 April 1975. In this war that lasted for two decades, there was a fierce war between North and South Vietnam. In the name of joining the South, this war was started by Ho Chi-Min. Apart from China, the then Soviet Union and North Korea had directly supported him in this war. Apart from these, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Cuba and Sweden supported them. This war was about communist vs others.

America's intention

America did not want the roots of communism to spread to South Vietnam as well. Its roots were deep in the north. America also did not want communism to expand in Laos and Cambodia apart from North Vietnam. To prevent this, America had joined this war as a supporter of South Vietnam. Here opponents of communist ideology were supporting him. These included South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Laos, Cambodia, the Khmer Republic, Thailand and the Philippines. They were supported by Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, West Germany, Spain, Italy and Britain.

Apart from Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam became a communist country

America took the decision not to participate directly in this war, 18 years after the start of the war. By that time, this war had gone beyond the border of Vietnam and reached Laos and Cambodia. This end was caused by the failure of America. North and South Vietnam were united in 1975. Apart from these, Laos and Cambodia also became communist country.

Resort to compromise to get out of the war

Before leaving the US, an agreement was made exactly as it was seen in Afghanistan. It is known in history as the Paris Peace Accord. After this war, the problem of refugees took a formidable form. There was a horrific massacre in Cambodia. Vietnam came to the world in 1976 as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. In this war, about 9 lakh soldiers took part from the North Vietnamese side and more than 1.4 million soldiers from the South Vietnamese side. These include foreign soldiers as well.

The Vietnam War tells the story of America's failure

In this war that lasted for two decades, more than 13 lakh soldiers were killed on both sides, including 3.25 lakh South Vietnamese and more than 58 thousand American soldiers. Apart from this, 6.12 lakh civilians were killed. About 20 lakh soldiers were injured in this war from both sides. 10 lakh jawans were taken, prisoner. 3 lakh soldiers were injured in this war of America itself. The Vietnam War is one of America's failed wars in which after years of involvement, it has only faced defeat. In this war, America had spent money on the waterside. Even after this he could not achieve anything. Now America is again in front of China regarding Taiwan.
