not sure thought Nixon was president with Vietnam war...

heard about this war but way to young understand and was not even born yet ... The War of 1812 was a military conflict that lasted from June 18, 1812 to February 18, 1815, fought between the United States of America and the United Kingdom, its North American colonies, and its North American Indian allies. Historians in the United States and Canada see it as a war in its own right, but Europeans often see it as a minor theatre of the Napoleonic Wars. By the war's end in early 1815 the key issues had been resolved and peace came with no boundary changes. |

Which president started the Vietnam War?
"The First Indochina War ended with the French failure in the efforts to re-colonize Vietnam. In July 1954, the Geneva Accords were designed as an attempt to secure peace in Indochina. However, undermined by the Cold War tension and mistrust, the Accords had been hastily negotiated and drafted. Both the United States and the State of Vietnam acknowledged the Accords, but refused to sign them1. On the other side, Viet Minh under Ho Chi Minh, who did not agree with the separation at the 17th parallel and doubt the national election scheduled in 1956 to unify the country, was forced to sign the Accords under pressure from both Soviet and China1. In the United States, President Dwight Eisenhower, who had warned against the possible expansion of communism in April, obviously opposed the unifying election. He foresaw that if the election was held in 1956 possibly eighty percent of Vietnamese population would have voted for Ho Chi Minh2 and Vietnam would certainly fall to the communists. As a result, he began to instruct efforts to help Ngo Dinh Diem establish a new government in South Vietnam. In a letter sent to Diem in 19543, Eisenhower promised Diem that the United States would make a greater contribution to the stability of the government. By the end of 1955, Diem, backed by the US, had full control of Saigon and most of South Vietnam. In 1956, Ngo Dinh Diem refused open talks with Hanoi and unilaterally blocked the unifying election. When the July 1956 deadline passed without a national election, the Communists knew that they had to march south to reunify the country. Vietnam was now on the edge of a new conflict. In early 1961, the escalation of Communist insurgency and poor performances of Diem’s government caused an increasingly concern for the United States. In order to improve the situation, President Kennedy continued to increase economic and military aid to South Vietnam. By the end of 1961, Kennedy administration supported $65 million in military equipment, $136 million in economic aid and dispatched about 3,200 U.S military advisors to South Vietnam. By 1963, the number of US military advisors reached to 16,0004. Following Kennedy’s assassination, Lyndon B. Johnson, who shared the same vision on Vietnam with his predecessor, took office and continued to expand U.S’s military role in Vietnam. Beginning with the order to conduct bombing raids on North Vietnam, Johnson then came to a decision to escalate U.S. military presence in South Vietnam by dispatching the first US ground troops to Danang on March 8, 1965. Since then, he continued to constantly increase the number of U.S troops in South Vietnam to more than 500,000 over the next five years." - http://thevietnamwar.info/who-started-vietnam-war/ Had to go look it up as my recollection, living through it, was that Johnson had the reins, Nixon brought them home. On Nixon: "November 7, 1972 is re-elected with largest mandate in American history, winning 49 out 50 states, and nearly 61 percent of the popular vote. January 27, 1973 the Paris Peace Accords are signed, ending U.S. military involvement in Vietnam, and guaranteeing the release of all American Prisoners of War. February 1973 the POWs return home from Vietnam. |

when young who was the first ... President you really new of
Outside of history books Ronald Reagan. But mostly because I was around grownups that talked about him all the time. So I "really new" their perspective of him. After that, Bush the 1st from my own efforts, I started to give a crap since at the time the question was raised of potentially reinstating the draft due to the Gulf War. |

The War of 1812 was a military conflict that lasted from June 18, 1812 to February 18, 1815, fought between the United States of America and the United Kingdom, its North American colonies, and its North American Indian allies. Historians in the United States and Canada see it as a war in its own right, but Europeans often see it as a minor theatre of the Napoleonic Wars. By the war's end in early 1815 the key issues had been resolved and peace came with no boundary changes. the only time the White House was invaded, taken over, and burned down... |
