Vietnam, located in southeast Asia and has been under conflict for a long time. Students in grade 8 researched Vietnam. They visited http://online.culturegrams.com/ (Culturegrams is accessible with username: ologs and password: ologs), looked at books, and interviewed Mr. Chien and Mr. Hagner. Mr. Chien served in a prison camp and was in Vietnam during the war. Mr Hagner was an intelegence officer. Vietnam is a main distributor of rice. Before WWII France colonized Vietnam. During World War II it was overrun by the Japanese. After the War, China came in and fought to take over the peninsula. South Vietnam had a democracy and 2 presidents before the Viet Cong tried to take over. The northerners were called the Viet Cong.The Viet Cong wanted to have the south to become communist
When the U.S. came in, there was a long going war until 1975. The Vietnam War was a horrible war, and many Americans died.
President Nixon was president when the Vietnam war came to a close. There was an operation Linebacker, which brought about a treaty that the South Vietnamese did not agree to. Operation Linebacker 2 lasted 12 days with uncountable Vietnamese dead and 120 American soldiers. Linebacker II led to peace. There were many mortar attacks on innocent people. Today Vietnam is a communist nation.
