What is vietnam divided?
Show answer
Like Korea and Germany, Vietnam had become divided into a communist North and a non-communist South. The communist North wanted to unite the whole country under communism, and communist fighters in the South, supported by the North, worked to overthrow the Southern government. The United States supported the non-communist government in the South. This made Vietnam another Cold War battleground, where the struggle between communism and the non-communist world was fought out.
What are only describing events?
Show answer
Explain why the United States fought and why it failed, rather than just listing the fighting.
