World War II marked the beginning of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, but the Vietnamese were already engaged in a revolutionary struggle aimed at expelling colonial forces and unifying the country. After 1945, the North Vietnamese and United States pursued two different paths that led to war with one another 20 years later. What drove each side to war? To address this, you will need to identify the personalities that drove the decision making process? Who, from North & South Vietnam, and the United States, played a pivotal part in the process? What key events and how did their outcome shape their decisions (i.e. key battles, international/national events, or Cold War ideologies, for example)? Was direct confrontation between the United States and North Vietnam inevitable? Justify your answer.
