True or false The Battle of Gettysburg proved to be the turning point of the war.

Answer:

Vietnam had to fight wars against the French and the Americans to gain its independence.

Explanation:

-During World War II, Vietnam, which was a French colony, was invaded by Japan. In 1945, at the end of the war, Vietnam proclaimed its independence.

After the war, France did not want to give up its colony, and occupied the southern parts of the country in 1946, which started the Indochina War. Viet Minh had taken control of North Vietnam and considered Hanoi as its capital. In turn, the French established a seemingly independent state under the leadership of Emperor Bao Dai. The war ended in the heavy defeat of France in Dien Bien Phu in 1954. In May 1954, a peace deal was concluded in Geneva between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and France to end the colonial rule. The country was divided into two 17th latitudes between the communist regime of North Vietnam and the south, where the Boho rule continued. Elections were due to take place in July 1956, but Ngo Dinh Diem, who captured power in the south, refused and declared 26 October 1955 to be the Independent Republic of South Vietnam.

-South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem launched a campaign in 1956 against his political opponents, and in 1957 the guerrilla movement, the National Liberation Front, rebelled in the south. From the north, weapons and men began to flow. In December 1961, at the request of Ngo Dinh Diem, President John F. Kennedy sent military advisors to South Vietnam to support the South Vietnamese Army. In 1963, there was a coup d'etat in the South that overthrew Ngo Dinh Diem, after which the United States increased its support for South Vietnam. In 1964, the so-called Gulf of Tonkin incident led to the US launching a pre-planned bombing of North Vietnam. In March 1965, President Johnson sent the first US troops to the country. War and bombing also spread to neighboring countries.

A major turning point in the war was the January 1968 Tet offensive, which damaged both the United States and South Vietnamese fighting and caused serious losses to the National Liberation Front.

A peace treaty was signed in Paris on January 27, 1973. South Vietnam was divided into a quilt controlled by the government and the National Liberation Front and the United States withdrew its troops. In early 1975, regular forces in northern Vietnam launched an invasion and occupied southern Vietnam. Saigon was conquered on April 30, and the country was formally unified in July 1976.
