It has hurt our credibility across the world and caused a loss of faith in government by its citizens. Although the necessity of the war is argued by many, it is only done in an analysis of its occurrence. Had it not happened and the world possibly fell under Communism, then we would be arguing the exact opposite. The United States did what it felt it had to do at the time, given the information it had. To go to war in Vietnam was a risk the US felt it had to take in order to contain Communism, thus securing its economic prosperity and worldwide dominance.
There were supported by Ho Chi Minh, who was backed by the Soviet Union and China. The Americans continued to believe that Vietnam was a Cold War conflict. They failed to see it as a nationalist uprising seeking independence. Their failure to do this led them to
Pham Xuan An, a man with many sides. Secret agent, reporter, communist, friend to some, enemy to others, but more importantly a humanitarian. Larry Berman's book, Perfect Spy, is a biography of Vietnam's greatest undercover man, Pham Xuan An, a true hero to his country. It is the story of a man who risked his life to both save his country from foreign invasion and to save the lives of many people on both sides of the war. Pham Xuan An joined the Communist Party in the 1940s because he believed in the Party's anti-imperialist ideals and its goal of uniting the country under a independent rule.
Roosevelt had realized this great potential and purchased the equipment and rights from the French to pursue this project. While at the same time as the purchase, a bitter conflict between Panama and Columbia was taking place, where Roosevelt had stepped in and offered Panama independence from Columbia in exchange for exclusive rights and control of the lands surrounding the projected Panama Canal. Though the building of the Panama Canal was considered one of the greatest achievements of his administration – for it nearly doubled the efficiency of America’s navy , it has also caused conflict and severe criticism against him
Harry Truman is an important figure in relation to Vietnam as it was him who made the decision to oppose communism throughout the world. In relation to US support for France, the Truman administration concluded that the French were invaluable allies against Communism in both Indochina and Europe, and therefore deserving of American assistance. However, many articulate Vietnamese were unhappy with French rule, which resulted in a small Vietnamese nationalist group in espouse of Communism grown up in exile under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh. Consequently, Truman offered $10 million to support the French military effort, and established a US Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) in Saigon. This assistance then increased, as by the end of the year, the US had given France $100 million, along with aircraft, patrol boats, napalm bombs and ground combat machinery.
Finally, the SA’s activity is also to put fear on the street to get votes for the next elections. Hitler attempted the Munich Putsch because he thought it would benefit them. Firstly, Hitler was very confident about his huge SA army and thought he was powerful. Not only that, but he thought that the army would join him because of the influence of Ludendorff and the SA which are technically ex-Freikoprs. Hitler also thought that since the government was just developing it would have been a good time to seize power and take over the government.
He references documents such as the United States Constitution and The Declaration of Independence as grounds for his arguments against the “Taylor Machine”. Holding the ideals that he was raised upon is how Jefferson Smith demonstrates the same idea of civil disobedience that Thoreau refers to. Senator Paine was oblivious to the strong heart and mind of Jefferson Smith. I believe that Smith was looked down upon and maybe even considered an imbecile due to his lack of knowledge about political affairs. Had Paine known of his plans to build a facility near Willet Creek then he surely would not have allowed him to be sworn in.
The limited nature of the revolution was one of the main factors which weakened prospects for democracy, when Ebert was trying to form a government he still had a problem that the radical communists were still looking to turn Germany into a communist state similar to the Soviet Union and thus to put down this rebellion and get support of the army he made an agreement with Groener. The agreement was that the army would support the government if the army and civil service were left unchanged. This was the main reason that democracy was irreversibly weakened, because the civil service and army generals were all right-wing conservatives providing a powerbase for the radical right. This limited democracy because the radical right thought that democracy was weak and indecisive, the radical right though was weakened because the radical left was way more powerful initially in post war Germany, but the radical right would help democracy until the radical left was no longer a threat and would act as ticking time bomb of support. This could have acted as a powerbase for the Kapp Putsch and the eventual rise of the Nazis.
Conservative, these men were not. Defenders of reason, liberty, freedom of person, and conscience, they led the fight also against monarchy and oligarchy (Jefferson Libertarian). These men and many more are the reason that the United States of America is what it is. The revolution may have been bold and risky but these men created one of the first republics of the world. The American Revolution was an event of far-reaching importance.
Some historians believed that political view was the reasons for Napoleon Bonaparte’s strong autocratic government. His background as a soldier gave him plenty of advantages and his military successes made him a well-known person in France. Thus, they believed in him and all the soldiers like him for his victory. He has revolutionary ideas as he has been raised during revolutionary condition. By that, he knew what to do and not to do in administrating France.
