Paper Summary:
This paper discusses American involvement in Vietnam during the Truman and Eisenhower presidencies, explaining that involvement at that time was minimal, and was primarily limited to diplomacy, combined with covert military support for the French, who were battling the Viet Minh insurgency. The paper then looks at how American involvement escalated when the French base at Dien Bien Phu fell in 1954, compelling French withdrawal from Indochina and causing American policymakers to conclude that the United States would have to take a more direct role in Indochina in order to prevent communist takeovers of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand.More papers on The Vietnam War: Involvement and Escalation:
