(1 point)

Answer 1

The United States went to war with North Vietnam as a result of the Cold War and its policy of containment. The U.S. feared the spread of communism in Southeast Asia and believed that North Vietnam's communist government posed a threat to South Vietnam. Additionally, the U.S. supported South Vietnam's government and wanted to prevent its fall to communism. This led to the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
