who was the president during the attack during vietnam war
The Vietnam War was a civil war in that country, which had been divided into North and South regions following the defeat of the French in 1954. US Presidents during the US involvement there were: 1  Dwight Eisenhower (sent advisers 1955-61). 2  John F. Kennedy (increased involvement of CIA and US ambassadors).
By 1969, at the peak of U.S. involvement in the war, more than 500,000 U.S. military personnel were involved in the Vietnam conflict. Growing opposition to the war in the United States led to bitter divisions among Americans, both before and after President Richard Nixon ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1973.
