Vietnam+War+Politics

The policies created by the US government that led us to war were, Vietnamization, and the perceived threat of communism and the necessity of action to prevent its spread.

The Senate and House of Representative gave a lot of government support for the war. Many US citizens were against the government's support for war. The United States didn't formally declare war in Congress. T he policy that allowed our government to launch a military campaign was introduced by taking over combat advisory role with the South Vietnamese Army. It also gave the ability to send 2000, US military advisors.
