considered the “foreign other” during the Vietnam War? The act of othering a particular group has long been a signifier or marker of foreign identity or a clash of upheld ideals and standards.

Colonialism is the establishment of a country in another territory often through domination politically and culturally. This act generally occurs with a dominant, superior power and a smaller, lower-ranking area. However, in some cases, the lesser country will not easily allow such colonization to take place.

encounter in. The Vietnam war being just one of them is my example of the problem. As one of the biggest countries in the world we should always stay neutral until the problem starts affecting us. In the past, countries other than America have been brought into wars to fight alongside one country or to try to relieve the problem. One of the biggest examples of this has been the Vietnam war I recently brought up. This war was originally between Japan and Vietnam. It helped Vietnam to not be…

The Declaration of Independence of Vietnam first expresses the idea that Vietnam was under the French rule for over 80 years. During this era, Vietnam had to face a lot of distress, “more than two million of our fellow-citizens died from starvation.” When Japan attacked Vietnam during World War II, the French did not fight back but instead handed over Vietnam to the Japanese. The Vietnamese still were treated by the Japanese in a cruel manner. The declaration expresses that it is now that all…

my Primary Source Paper on the Vietnam war. The Vietnam war was one of the most controversial wars America has ever been in.
