Escalation of the Vietnam war 1963-1965
Adámek, Václav ; Nálevka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee)
Některé války slavně začínají, jiné slavně končí. Válka ve Vietnamu začala nepozorovaně a když po třiceti letech končila, nejednalo se o slavný konec. Za tu dobu tří desítek let se v džungli poloostrova Zadní Indie vystřídali armády dvou západních mocností, Francie a USA. Vojáci a vlády ani jednoho z výše zmíněných států nedokázali najít účinný recept na vedení boje v džungli proti houževnatým partyzánům. Francii se nepovedlo navázat na své koloniální doby a během několika let se její veškerý kredit utopil ve vleklých bojích s hnutím Viet Minh, které demonstrovalo svoje vítězství ve vyčerpávající bitvě u Dien Bien Phu. Tím skončila francouzská část války. Bohužel pro Vietnam, nyní rozdělený na dvě části, vedený odlišnými idejemi a opět čekající na sjednocení, hrůzy války neskončily. Podporu Jižního Vietnamu převzaly pod svá křídla Spojené státy, které se zapřísáhly, že v nově ustanoveném světovém pořádku nenechají padnout žádný stát do komunistického područí. Tak tedy začala do Saigonu proudit stále větší vojenská pomoc. Zpočátku Vietnam nepředstavoval větší problém, vše se však začalo měnit, když snažení nepřinášelo žádné plody. Na počátku šedesátých let se Amerika angažovala v Indočíně již patnáct let. Onu finanční a materiálovou pomoc vystřídali vojenští specialisté, letadla a tajné jednotky. Nic z toho...

Vietnam war during Lyndon B. Johnson presidency (1963-1969)
Adámek, Václav ; Horčička, Václav (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
Second indo-Chinese war between communist North Vietnam and non-communist South Vietnam has become the longest war incident in twentieth century. President Johnson who inherited this problem after tragic assassination in November 1963 led USA into the war in Southeast Asia. L. B. Johnson preserves continuity of foreign politics of USA with President Kennedy's politics. USA strictly supported South Vietnam and was ready to risk an open war for its regime. The incident in Tonkin Gulf in August 1964 led to escalation of the war. A tension developed during next months when North Vietnam departed to guerilla war. The reaction of USA to guerilla war was huge bombing of North Vietnam and as well deploying thousands of American soldiers into service in land war operations. President Johnson's political credit was decreasing fast. An essential twist occurred in the beginning of the year 1968. Vietcong (South Vietnamese communist) and North Vietnam army launched the widest offensive during Vietnamese conflict on feast day Tet. Victorious wars become a fiasco under view of cameras and medias. After Tet offensive it was no longer possible to speak about USA victory. Medias, people and public opinion was not willing to continue in jungle war. President Johnson changed some top officers in army and personally announced...

The Second Indo-Chinese war between communist North Vietnam and non-cominist South Vietnam became the longest war in the twentieth century. President Johnson took over the necessity to solve the war conflict in Vietnam after the assassination in Dallas in November, 1963. L. B. Johnson preserved continuity of American foreign policy with president Kennedy's politic. The USA strictly supported South Vietnam and was ready to risk an open war for its regime. The incident in Tonkin Gulf in August 1964 led to escalation of the war. A tension developed during next months when North Vietnam started a guerilla war. The reaction of the USA to guerilla war was huge bombing of North Vietnam and as well deploying thousands of American soldiers into service in land war operations. President Johson's political credit was decreasing fast. In the begining of the year 1968 an essential twist occured. Vietcong (South Vietnamese communist) and North Vietnam army launched the widest offensive during Vietnamese conflict on Tet feast day. A victorious war became a fiasco under view of cameras and media. After the Tet offensive it was no longer possible to speak about the USA victory. Media, people and public opinion were not willing to continue in a "jungle war". President Johnson changed some top officers in the army...
