Why did the United States lose the Viet Nam war?

The United States neither lost nor won the Vietnam War. Here are some facts: The US Armed Forces won 27 battles total whereas the North Vietnamese/Viet Cong won a mere 15 battles throughout the course of the war. The US invasion of Cambodia was a success.

The Americans killed more Vietnamese than the Vietnamese killed Americans. Of this, 58,000 Americans died whereas 1.1 million North Vietnamese were slaughtered. Technically, the USA did not lose the Vietnam War from a military stand point.

They did quite well actually. However, the war was lost in a political sense due to early American withdrawal, therefore leaving the war to the South Vietnamese who could not repel the North Vietnamese invasion. Simply put, the Republic of Vietnam did not want to defend and fight for their country after the USA left in 1973.

Hence the nail was hammered into the coffin on April 30, 1975 in what is known as the Fall of Saigon. We can also blame the media such as NBC, ABC, and CBS for being traitors ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
