Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
by April of 1975, the communist Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV) ruled the entire country ("Vietnam War," 1991). The mission was not accomplished but the goal did emanate from paranoia
about communism and a fear of the domino effect. This reactive policy, whereby the United States would fight for democracy, was known as containment (1991). The chief military target was
Ho Chi Minh and his cronies (1991). But there were complications. While President Truman and other American leaders favored Vietnamese independence, there was expanding communist control of Eastern Europe and
