The five most important wars of the 20th century: The Vietnam War (1964-1975)

          Conflict in the Indochina peninsula that took place between mid-fifties and the mid-seventies and that faced to the USA and the government of South Vietnam on the one hand, against North Vietnam and the Communist guerrillas operating in South Vietnam by another. The end of the war also spreading to Laos and Cambodia. The Vietnam war was the longest in American history, meant to this country an experience of failure and frustration, still, without a doubt, the most serious failure of US in the cold war.

         The beginning of American involvement goes back to the beginning of the fifties when they supported the desperate attempts of France to maintain its colonial presence in Indochina against the communist forces of the Vietminh. The French defeat and the Geneva Accords of 1954, which enshrined the partition of Vietnam in two, led to Washington will dump its support in the anticommunist regime of Vgo Dinh Diem in South Vietnam that facing the North Vietnam communist, supported by the USSR

        The defeat was a real trauma for USA 58,000 dead, 300,000 injured, hundreds of thousands of soldiers with a wide drug addiction and with serious problems of adaptation to the civilian life, the wounded pride of power ... What came to be called the "Vietnam syndrome" was in the short term a great reluctance to outside military intervention on the part of the American power.

       We can cultivate awareness on the deaths, on the consequences. It is not fair that despite the victory, well, the so-called victory, that the life of the people. No one gives life to anyone, who will then take the lives of the people. Where is the conscience of the "great powers", where is the country worship, where is the peace. If we have love, we look for peace and reject the war under any condition. For this reason, we continue knowing the mistakes of the past, so as not to become our mistakes of the future! Until then! A hug!
