Would you say that the Vietnam War was a success for the US?

  Indochina and SEA remained communist free ... according to the domino theory the whole point of USA involvement there was to contain the spread.

    > Indochina Huh, that should be Indonesia... Because Indochina (as in the former French colony) was well and fully communist after the Vietnam war
    • ReptileMan 7mo ago
      Indochina is the name of the whole peninsula. Only cambodia and vietnam were. The domino theory was that Thailand and Myanmar will fall too.
      • baud147258 7mo ago
        well, Indochina wasn't communist free, as Cambodia and Vietnam were (and Laos too).

    It failed to contain communism, though. Afterwards, communism spread to Cambodia; a direct domino effect of the US withdrawal.
