Vietnam War

Did you know that in the Vietnam War south Vietnamese used a chemical called Agent Orange that took out the vegetation out of plants, trees etc.

The youngest soldier to be killed was 16 years old and the oldest soldier killed was 62 years old. The meaning of war is it is legalised violence between two or more countries.

The war started by North Vietnam being communist and South Vietnam being relaxed and wore jeans and smoked cigarettes. So North Vietnam wanted South Vietnam to be like them and South Vietnam didn't wanted it. Their disagreeing started a war. The war started in 1957 and it involved:

Viet Cong - North Vietnam. Allied troops- South Vietnam, Australia, USA, South Korea and New Zealand.

During the war  a weapon called Agent Orange, which took out all the vegetation out of plants, trees etc. So it made it hard for the North  Vietnamese to hide in the jungles.

The last of the American soldiers left in 1973 and the war kept going until 1975 and that is when, North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam and the South Vietnam surrendered to the North Vietnam.

After the war had finished lots of villages were destroyed and people lived in poverty and people started to slowly die because of the Agent Orange. During the war the agent Orange had gone into crops and people didn't know that it was in it. It started to effect people 20 years after the war.

The Vietnam War was the longest war that USA has taken part in.
