Newly uploaded documentsDuring the Cold War existed a kind of status of belligerence between the US and USSR as representatives (champions) of Capitalism and Communism intended as Economic, Political and Social ways of life. This belligerence was not direct and face to face but rather indirect and....fought by others! The American fought in Vietnam indirectly against the USSR supporting the South against the North, while the USSR supported (more or less actively) the North with weapons, supply, training, intelligence, etc. Basically, there were no battles or fighting between Russians and Americans (like in a "normal" war) but, as in a chess game, the two adversaries fought each other using different "pieces" on a chessboard that was Vietnam.  [...but who was really pulling the strings? Difficult to say!] Many times the politicians in both sides (Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Nikita Khrushchev) hinted that they were really fighting either the forces of evil that were against world peace and democracy (the communist) or the colonialist and imperialistic oppressors of the weak and poor workers (the Capitalists). The American frequently reiterated the existence of a "Domino Theory" that implied that if Vietnam fell to Communism soon other neighboring nations would necessary fall as well spreading Communism in the region and then probably to the entire World. Abstract The American-Vietnamese War can best be analyzed in the context of three distinct entities: Vietnam, the United States, and the larger world. It can be seen as an episode in the larger history of each of these entities. This important war resulted from a confluence of factors that were deeply rooted in these histories. The first is Vietnam's revolutionary tradition and centuries-long struggle for national independence. Second is U.S. foreign policy, driven by the Cold War but chronically outward-thrusting. Third is a global context of anticolonial, anti-imperialist, and socially transformational revolutions in the twentieth century.
