Post War History- America

The last action in Vietnam was on May 15, 1975. This is when 18 marines died for the U.S. They were killed in in a rescue mission. This was called the Mayaguez incident. After this there was something called the Domino Theory. The Domino theory was a 20th Century forien policy. Domino Theory is if a reign of land goes under Communist then this land is under Domino Theory. This was proved to be a illusion. South East Asia di not fall into this theory. There was another idea and it was called the Eastern Bloc. This idea also was not a good one. Without the Americans the Soviet Union and Vietnam had taken a little loss on this. But the American position did not get a very big loss.
