There is a saying that the Vietnam War ended the economic boom of the United States in the post-war 25 years, caused the economic situation of the United States to take a sharp turn for the worse, and even caused its hegemony to be shaken for a time. This was a terrible thing for the United States at that time.
So at this point, some people should be skeptical, how could a small Vietnam War lead to the collapse of the powerful American economy? It's unlikely, right?
In fact, the United States participated in the Vietnam War between 1965 and 1973, and in this short period of eight years, the United States spent $250 billion on the Vietnam battlefield.
The economic recession and people's antipathy to the war is increasing day by day, and the rise of anti-war sentiment in the country has led to all kinds of abnormal phenomena in American society, and the rampant nationalists and civil rights issues in the United States at that time have been pushed to the top again, and people's trust in incompetence has been greatly reduced, and the army and soldiers have even brought a degree of antipathy, you know, in 1973, only 28 years after the end of World War II, when the United States had just won World War II, The kind of thriving atmosphere in the country is gone forever, the people's worship of their own justice, the sense of belonging to the army, the sense of honor of the soldiers, has long been gone, some are just distrust, disgust with the soldiers, thinking that the army takes their money to fight an unjust war on the battlefield in Asia, and the people can only liberate themselves in the case of powerlessness.
Therefore, the impact of the Vietnam War on the United States was no less than a major economic crisis, and the impact was not only economic, it also caused great mental trauma to the American people, and almost caused the international to go downhill from then on.
How terrible an unjust war is, compared to everyone realizing!

Because the climate in Vietnam is very hot, there are many infectious diseases.
-
The United States invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the Vietnam War, so it caused their economy to go into trouble and collapse.
-
Because when the United States attacked Vietnam, they did not know the local climate of Vietnam and their terrain at all, so they could not stand the high temperature and the interference of various insects.
-
Because the American soldiers were not familiar with the environment in Vietnam, they suffered a lot in the Vietnam War. Moreover, we have also provided assistance to Viet Nam.

It was because China joined the Vietnam War at that time, and the guns held by the United States at that time were not particularly strong, and the US military was not suitable for jungle operations, and their individual quality was not particularly strong, and they did not have particularly rich military experience, plus the United States did not estimate its strength in advance.
-
Because Vietnam's strength may still be stronger than theirs, and the strength of the United States may really not be that strong.
The environment is different, there are many mountains and jungles in Vietnam, and the US military cannot give full play to its equipment superiority, but when it attacked Iraq, the US military fully brought into play its equipment superiority.
Vietnam is now a relatively powerful country in Southeast Asia, with a population of nearly 100 million. In fact, in ancient times, Vietnam was still a vassal state of China, but with the development of history, Vietnam gradually got rid of China's control. The main reason for Vietnam's gradual departure from China's ancient control is Vietnam's climate problems, geopolitical rivalries, and the influence of Vietnam's surrounding forcesTherefore, our country's control over this place of Vietnam in ancient times has not been very strong. >>>More

Although it is a strong center of gravity in China, everyone is not as concerned about women's football as men's football, the main reason is because women's football is as good as ever, so everyone is not surprised by the performance of women's football, but men's football is ridiculously poor, so everyone is more concerned about men's football.
