THE VIETNAM WAR'S IMPACT
The Vietnam War was from 1955 to 1975 and it was between the Republic of Vietnam (Southern Vietnam) and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (Northern Vietnam). The United States was participatory in the War by fighting along side the Republic of Vietnam, due to the large support of United States Government. Before President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Kennedy aligned the United States with the Republic of Vietnam (Southern Vietnam) because he agreed with the anti-communist style of government. Immediately upon President Johnson taking office on November 22, 1963, Johnson took control of the United States foreign relations, which entailed the US involvement with the Vietnam War.
Johnson did what ever he needed to do to help the Republic of Vietnam win the War. Johnson sent advisors, 543,400 US troops, and 138.9 billion dollars worth of funds and equipment. Out of the 543,400 US troops sent to Vietnam, 45,943 soldiers died while fighting in the Vietnam War. Due to President Johnson's large involvement with funding military resources for the Republic of Vietnam, the amount of money supporting the programs of the Great Society significantly decreased. The amount of money was not enough to fund the programs to make them as good as possible. (Encyclopedia.com)
