” United States, by making war, successfully stopped the domino effect.”
That’s a crock of shit. What was to become the Vietcong fought against the Japanese in the second World War .
“American President Roosevelt and General Stilwell privately made it adamantly clear that the French were not to reacquire French Indochina (modern day Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos) after the war was over. Roosevelt offered Chiang Kai-shek the entire region of Indochina to be put under Chinese rule. It was said that Chiang Kai-shek replied: “Under no circumstances!”
The Vietnamese were fighting for Independence from France, America should have been aiding them not fighting them.
America lost the Vietnamese War in 1975 & both Cambodia & Laos became communist the same year.
According to the Domino theory Thailand & Malaysia should have gone communist too.
Perhaps if Cambodia & Laos had not been destabilized by the Vietnam war they would have not gone communist.
