>US vetoed Vietnamese membership to the UN in 1975 - after losing the War.
Because the war was still ongoing, between North and South at that time. They merged in 1976 and US voted in favor of membership in 1977.
- lenkite 1y ago> US voted in favor of membership in 1977. Only because Jimmy Carter got elected in 1976 on the basis of a campaign pledge to forgive all draft evaders and beat Ford. Until he was elected, Vietnam was three times blocked from admission by United States vetoes in the Security Council.
