Vietnam War

My topic for NHD project this year is Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War. The Vietnam War was the longest military conflict in U.S history. From 1946 until1954, Vietnam struggled for their independence from France. In September 2nd, 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam was independent from France. After they fought with France, they divided into South and the North. The North Vietnam came under the control of Vietnamese Communists who had opposed France and who aimed for a unified Vietnam under Communist rule. The South was controlled by the Vietnamese who had collaborated with the French. The Vietnam War was happened between the North Vietnam and the South Vietnam during the year 1959 and 1975. It was a classic example of Cold War conflict. The North Vietnam and the South Vietnam was fighting for democracy. In the 1950s, the United States involved in this war began to send troops to the South Vietnam to support them fighting the North. During the Vietnam War, some countries in Asia had also involved in this war, Such as China, Korea, Laos, Cambodia. China involved in the Vietnam War began in 1949 when the communists took over the country. The Communist Party of China provided material and technical support to the North Vietnam. China. China sent anti-aircraft units and engineering battalions to North Vietnam to repair the damage caused by American bombing, rebuild roads, railroads and to perform other engineering works. Korea sent a fighter squadron to North Vietnam to back up the North Vietnamese 921st and 923rd fighter squadrons defending Hanoi.
The conflict is the South and the North Vietnam fighting each other, and the U.S.A involved in this war. Many people dead during this war. The compromise is that finally the United States left Vietnam in 1975. The North Vietnam won the war, resulting in the unification of Vietnam under the communist government of the North
During this war, The South Vietnam had 250,000 people dead, 1,170,000 people wounded. The North Vietnam had 1,100,000 people dead/missing. The United States had 58,209 people dead*, 2,000 people missing, 305,000 people wounded. China has 1,446 people dead, 4,200 people wounded. In addition to another 1.5 million Lao and Cambodians who were drawn into the war.
The reason why I chose this topic because the Vietnam War was the longest military conflict in U.S history. So many people dead in the war. And also I want to know more about the Vietnam War.
