How Long Did The Vietnam War Last. The Vietnam War is the longest war ever to have taken place in the American history. It lasted for 16 years and it was terrible for the Americans at that time as the Civil Rights campaign was at its peak and so also the Vietnam War and anti war protests.
The Vietnam War was a long, costly and divisive conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. The conflict was intensified by the ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. More than 3 million people (including over 58,000 Americans) were killed in the Vietnam War, and more than half of the dead were Vietnamese civilians. Opposition to the war in the United States bitterly divided Americans, even after President Richard Nixon ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1973. Communist forces ended the war by seizing control of South Vietnam in 1975, and the country was unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam the following year. 1  Play video Chicago Seven Conspiracy Trial. 2  Play video Sound Smart: Vietnam War Protests. 3  Play video Nixon Addresses Silent Majority.
