The domino theory, coined by some American head of state, dictates that once one country fell under the influence of a social or political movement, it would have some influence over the popular society and government of another country. The higher the similarities between the two countries, the more effect a country would have.
With the Communist threat sweeping through Asia, US foreign policy believed that in order to save the world from revolution, they had to defend capitalism across the globe. In the period from 1954-1968 this involved providing economic and military aid to capitalist countries and emposing trade embargoes on Communist ones, encouraging cultural clashes between the two ideologies and by forceably imposing democratic systems on countries - i.e Korea, Vietnam.
Bleh, that was shizer, but it's a restart to this long-dead forum.
Now, the question:
What was the significance of the storming of Vietnam's Reunification Palace.
Gawd, this is really lame ( I can only remember snippits of my recent holiday to Indochina, School Certificate and Prelim. study and numerous Cold Chisel songs)Bare_Essentials said:
