Aiming to win back support from the American’s, as many people did not support the Vietnam war due to the bad media that was publicised. This was the first War to be so publicised and it shocked many of the people back home. This lead to Anti-War protest, which became one of the US governments aims to stop. However they still stuck to the aim to try and contain Vietnam from the spread of communism and supporting the SV defeat the VC in nearby country Cambodia. On the other side the aims of the NV government and their terrorist organisation the VC did not alter as they still aimed to persuade the SV government to vote for Vietnam to become a communist country.
During the pentrich rebellion government spy Oliver persuaded local radicals to march on Nottingham where they were met with troops. This was a dangerous strategy in a time of great civil unrest and could easily create more anger towards the Government, as their actions may have been seen as entrapment. On the other hand the fact there was an attempt by radicals to blow up the cabinet, indicates a serious threat. Also the radical threat was now country wide involving lower and middle classes, thus a spy network was needed and Liverpool cleverly used it to find leaders of radical movements and successfully managed to integrate spies into radical movements. It can also be said the government’s idea to suspend Habeas corpus in 1817 also contributed to the government’s success in dealing with
The author states, “Nor have all of America’s overseas military interventions been on the side of darkness. When the Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic was orchestrating the slaughter of countless innocents throughout the territory of the former Yugoslavia in the early 1190s, the powers of western Europe responded with little more than pious hand-wringing. The United States did not react as quickly as it might have either, but in the end it was American firepower that stopped Milosevic” (85). Mark Hertsgard goes to list plenty of other examples where the US involvement abroad is positive including places such as: Kenya, Moscow, China, and Zimbabwe. However, most of US involvement abroad often caused blowback.
They were defeated by Chinese ‘dragon’ attacks, which in December 1950 caused the most humiliating retreat in US history, totalling 300 miles. Additionally, the number of American casualties far outweighs the meagre accomplishments. 33,651 US servicemen were killed, and 103,284 were wounded. Therefore, the US clearly cannot be counted as a winner in the Korean War. Japan benefitted most from the conflict.
How effective were the US tactics of ‘search and destroy’ and ‘defoliation’ in the Vietnam War As North Vietnam came to communism the USofA soar this as a threat agent’s capitalism. And if Vietnam “fell” in to communism then the hole of Asia could become communist this is called the “domino effect”. In this time President Kennedy had ‘advisers’. The US were fully involved in Vietnam in 1964 the 4th of august when the NN North torpedoed the USS Maddox in the gulf of Tonkin and the Paris treaty in 1973 followed by the fall of Saigon 1975. Due to the Vietcong’s strategies the US decided to bomb the north into surrendering.
A cargo ship disguised as a cruise ship sunk because the Germans torpedoed it. It carried weapons and the passengers had access to one or more warnings by the Germans concerning sea travel around Great Britain. The British wanted America to join the war to support the Allies. Though this event did not immediately trigger the reaction the British wanted, the Lusitania event, in combination with others, caused the Americans to join the war, allowing the Allies to win. They needed the Americans, and they used an ingenious tactic to cause the Americans to join the war: the death of its own civilians.
Germany faced many problems such as unemployment, debt and lack of money. Construction of Autobahns and schools would have created many jobs and brought in a huge amount of money. This is exactly how Schacht planned to solve Germanys economic problems, with The New Plan. The New Plan consisted of four major parts (Limiting imports, Trade agreements, Government spending and tackling unemployment). However, Hitler was not happy with this as his spending on the military was being limited, which meant only a certain number of tanks/planes were being produced.
It had also failed politically. Not only did the USA fail to stop South Vietnam going Communist, but the heavy bombing of Vietnam's neighbours Laos and Cambodia actually helped the Communist forces in those countries to win support. By 1975 both Laos and Cambodia had Communist governments. Instead of slowing it down, American policies actually speeded up the domino effect in the region. It was also a propaganda disaster.
The misconceptions and false interpretations the press portrayed through television, news papers, and photographs played a major roll in shaping the support the US military had from its own people. Many contributors, such as Walter Cronkite and Edward Adams, of the press damaged the support of the US people due to bias, negative, and misconstrued interpretations of the Tet Offensive. The media portrayed Tet as a North Vietnamese victory, which countered Westmorland’s portrayal of Tet and made US citizens doubt Johnson’s previous statements made regarding the war in campaigns before Tet. The media affected the American public’s opinion of the war in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive to a great
It all happens in result of what happened previously. The post war division resulted in the Morgenthau plan and Soviet Zone and Allies Rights. The Political Division happened in three things; the Marshall Plan, Little Airlift and Bizonia turning into the Trizone. The start of the Berlin Aircraft helped many civilians in need and that were on the verge of starvation. So it all goes back to helping not hurting the people of Germany.
