Allie,





1. Two events actually:


a. Reagan building up the US military at a pace the USSR couldn't compete with


b. USSR defeat in Afghanistan





2. The two events were:


a. Francis Gary Powers getting shot down over USSR in the U2


b. The US blockade of Cuba during the Soviet Missile Crisis





3. There was never any combat between the US and USSR. Their weapons were frequently tested in Viet Nam, the Middle East, and Central America.





The US became involved in Viet Nam when the French pulled out leaving South Vietnam vulnerable to North Vietnam and communism. The mind set of the time was "Better to fight communism there than here."





The US's original contribution was Special Forces (Green Berets) going to Viet Nam to train their troops, and raise up and train insurgents.





In early August of 1964 two US Navy destroyers (USS Maddox, USS Turner Joy) claimed to have been fired on by North Vietnamese gunboats. LBJ gave orders for American air forces to bomb North Vietnam in retaliation, and the war escalated from there.
