Abstract

The American invasion of vietnam on March 8 1965 and the developments occurring in its aftermath wielded a serious impact on global geopolitical events in an era of ideological bi-polarity. Indeed, the war waged in Indochina throughout the 1960's captured the planets attention as it became apparent that neither side was willing to concede in the jungle; the planet lay at a crossroads of ideology. In such an atmosphere it is not surprising that vietnam became a defining moment in the decade of increasing military tension for the Cold War superpowers. Accordingly the case of vietnam is one that necessitates further explanation as it serves to reveal a great deal about the nature of Cold War relationships. As such, the goal of this paper is essentially twofold. First, to provide a reasonable synopsis of the events leading up to and including the vietnam war in the context of U.S. and soviet/chinese relations. The aim here is to develop an adequate background in which to discuss the influence of Communist Ideology in the region at this time. Second, to reflect on, how the war in vietnam may have potentially gone differently if the soviet Union and China had not intervened in the incident. Ultimately, this paper seeks to discuss the vietnam War in a broader context of East/West relations throughout the mid twentieth century.
