First, Vietnam. After long-term oppression by French and Japanese colonialists, the Vietnamese people have formed a very strong fighting capacity and resistance spirit in the arduous resistance process, which has been vividly reflected in the fighting between Vietnamese democracy and the international Southern Vietnam National Liberation Front. On the other hand, the Republic of Vietnam, which is supported by the American government, shows that the government is corrupt and infighting, oppressing the people has also lost popular support and its combat capability is weak. America's own troops are useless in the jungles and mountainous areas of Southeast Asia, no matter whether they are sophisticated weapons and equipment or skilled combat methods, and their combat capability is greatly reduced. Therefore, in the early days of the war, the US military did not have an advantage.
The second is the United States. Although the US military is not dominant in Vietnam, the superpower's strength is not timid in Vietnam. However, as we all know, the injustice, huge casualties and tragic war of the United States in the Vietnam War spread to the United States through news and television, and a vigorous anti-war movement was launched in China. A large number of American young men fled to Canada to avoid conscription, and anti-war movements in major cities clashed with the government. The U.S. government's Vietnam War faced enormous domestic pressure. Social chaos has led to the near paralysis of the government, the chaos in the rear of Vietnamese American troops, and the American soldiers abroad are inevitably absent-minded
The third is the world. America's participation in the Vietnam War was to contain the forces in Southeast Asia and launch a war of armed intervention in the Third World. The injustice of the world is obvious to all. On the battlefield in Vietnam, it is not just a contest between South Vietnam and North Vietnam. The tilt of international public opinion has also made the US military slow to move on the land of Vietnam. It can be said that this unjust war for a country's self-interest was doomed to failure from the beginning.
