The Vietnam War

        When I was first introduced to this topic and event, I knew nothing about it except the basics. I knew the war took place in Vietnam, I knew that it was between the United States vs. Vietnam, and I also knew that the United States quit the war. I wanted to know who was the president during the war and why did the United States fight in the war. After learning so much and reading about the Vietnam War, I learned that the United fought because of communism, 58,00 Americans died, 304,000 were wounded, and 76,000 were disabled that was why the United States quit the war. I also learned that the United States spent 200 billion dollars on the war and the average age of soldiers was 19 years old.
