A time line for Vietnam

1941: Ho Chi Minh (hehe) re-enters Vietnam. The United Stated arms him and his Guerrilla Group known as the Viet Minh to help fight of Japanese and recue downed soldier.

1945: Japanese Get rid of the French Colonial Government in Vientam, and set up their own puppet ruler Bao Dai.

The Allies divide Vietnam at the 16th Parallel. The Japanese are disramed in both south and north Vietnam

Vietnam is givin to the french and Ho Chi Minh not like that so much. Quoting the Declaration of Idependence, he declares Vietnam Independent.

Ho tries to get the US to aknowledge the Countries independance.

Truman Ignores him.

Britain Releases French Sodliers, and the British and the French begin to Massacre inoccent civilians, and Guerillas alike.

Vietn Minh Fight Back, Duh!

French not so happy.

General Jacques Philippe Leclerc Commands a group of 35,000 French Troops in Vietnam, in order to regain French Rule.

The Viet Minh Try to expel the French, it being their country and not the French (Hey weren't the french invaded? I don't think they liked having an occupying force in home town.)

1946: The Frech being the punk ass hypocrites they are, begin to dominate Viet Minh Guerrillas who want independence from imperialist France.

China allows Frace to Take over North Vietnam.

Minh tries to bargain for independeance. The French "Speet on heim" basically.

Violence errupts and the frech force the Viet Minh to withdraw into the Jungle.

First Indochina Struggle for independance last 8 years.

1947:

Operation Lea takes the lives of 9,000 from fighters and countless innocent women and children.

The French instal Bao Dao as the Puppet of North Vietnam and his Dictatorial government.

The United States Recognizes this "Gvoernment"

1950: Senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin starts accusing people of being communists, much like the accusations made by the Bush administration regarding terrorists.

This causes everybody in US Government to be hard on communism, hoping to avoid any accusations. McCarthyism is rampant and melignant.

June 30, 1950 - President Harry S. Truman orders U.S. ground troops into Korea following Communist North Korea's invasion of the South. In his message to the American people, Truman describes the invasion as a Moscow-backed attack by "monolithic world Communism." This pushed the fear mongering to another level.

July 26 Harry Truman, began funding the terrorist regime of Bao Dao a.k.a the French, 15 million dollars worth the funding.

No need to continue. It is clear why the U.S. entered Vietnam. To protect the French Empire, and it's commodities in Vietnam.
