Communism movement was more in the old world. The countries that had a communist government were more in counties that had miss up governments or foreign countries controlling the government.

The major people would never wanted their freedom of the high class losing want they got.

Patriotism means that everyone one countries with different background is all the same. Like the United States, everyone but Native American had immigrants here and everyone is treated as equal no matter if this was not their original country. Nationalism is different than patriotism. Nationalism is about the pride and loyalty to one's country but people with the same background and culture in that country. For example Vietnam, Vietnamese people view their country is great and if someone try to take control over Vietnam then they will fight back because they do not want others in their country with different background. There is a difference between the love one one’ country and fear of other countries. The love of one’s country is pride and respect of their country. Patriotism can be show of that. But the fear of other countries is the fear of their country being taken over by those countries. Nationalism in Vietnam came around after France being in control of Vietnam for so many years. The French change things in Vietnam making it hard for them. Vietnam wanted to have their country from the French because they did not want foreign run their government. Many countries fear other countries power because they can come to their country can invade them, kill their people, make them slaves, and take over their

As a result, the Vietnamese revolted against the French and eventually succeeded under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, the founder of the Viet Minh, which was the main coalition that led the revolt.

Although this is very unlike as mentioned, most people of America are too worried about self gain and self interest, and the facade of society places a biased view on anything linked to communism. Too many immediately reject any idea of communism. It can be seen that not significant work was done in the world in “Anthem” and that extreme forms of communism are likely to fail, but a less extreme form like socialism could possibly save the world from corruption, and could bring the world back together as

The public put unavoidable pressure on the government to cease involvement in the war, especially as it was eating massive amounts of tax payer’s money. In November 1969, 500,000 people demonstrated against the war in Washington DC. Also, Viet Cong aims were to simply never give in and inflict enough damage on the USA to withdraw. Whereas US strategies included forcing North Vietnam to give in, making them agree to an acceptable solution to the conflict, insuring China or the USSR wouldn’t be drawn into the conflict, all whilst ‘protecting’ South Vietnam and building support there. As well as these aims being more difficult from the offset, there was also much more initiative for the Viet Cong soldiers, who were fighting for an ideology they whole-heartedly believed in and for their country.

Another notable reason led to the defeat of the French was the supports from China and Soviet Union to the Viet Minh. China and Soviet Union were the two biggest alliances of Viet Minh and played an important role in the outcome of the war.

Between being colonized by the Chinese or by the French, Vietnam has throughout its history been either dominated directly by or at least influenced politically by a foreign power. The French began directly ruling over Vietnam in 1887 after winning a series of wars in the name of extracting coal, rubber, rice, and rare minerals. However, the birthplace of the Enlightenment and resulting French Revolution provided little in return, intentionally leaving Vietnam to be grossly illiterate, lacking any modern industry, and dependent upon France. In opposition to the exploitation, the Dong Du, a Vietnamese independence movement inspired by Japan's anticolonial success against Russia in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, grew within a community
