Author's Note: I decided to write an essay on war because
I wanted to write about the past to remind people who gave freedom to this country and who gave their lives up in the line of duty.
War is what separates our countries. It can be started from many different reasons like racisisim, power over land, or terrorism. War is when two armies fight each other for the reasons I just explained and more. Armies are basically men and women who serve their countries and protect them from danger also allowing freedom.
I have studied past and present wars for 7 years since I was 5 and I have gained a lot of knowledge. Two of the most common wars I know are ww1 and ww2. Ww1 started out with the Germans terrorizing the British. It was from 1917-1938. Ww2 was from 1939 to 1945. But what I’m really here to tell you about is Vietnam.
It all started when North Koreans were attacking South Koreans for power over South Korean land. Mostly men women and boys went to war with barley any training. The South Koreans were depleted. They didn’t stand a chance. The American government thought that this was unfair so they decided to help the South Koreans.
Now with the American help they thought for sure they would win but it didn’t turn out that way. North Koreans had good snipers and so it was hard to get ammo trucks to safety and the South Koreans and the Americans were exposed to heavy fire. But the Americans had one advantage the air force. They air force play a huge part in Vietnam like taking out enemy bases or artillery guns. The war ended in 1975 12 years after JFK was assassinated. The Americans lost.
The events of Vietnam were an act of curtsey many men died from the military and police officers were hurt or injured from people who rioted against the Vietnam War because they believed that the United States of America shouldn’t get involved. We still fight the Koreans today because they are still attacking South Korea.
