"Why are we in South Viet-Nam? We are there because we have a promise to keep. Since 1954 every American President has offered support to the people of South Viet-Nam. We have helped to build,and we have helped to defend. Thus,over many years,we have made a national pledge to help South Viet-Nam defend its independence…We are also there because there are great stakes in the balance. Let no one think for a moment that retreat from Viet-Nam would bring an end to conflict. The battle would be renewed in one country and then another."
President Lyndon B.Johnson,Speech at Johns Hopkins University,1965

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conflict in South Vietnam described by President Johnson is most closely resembled by the United States' efforts in the Korean conflict. In both cases, the United States offered support to defend a non-communist country against communist aggression. Additionally, the possibility of a wider conflict and the need to contain communism were significant factors in both conflicts. The other options, World War I and World War II, were large-scale global conflicts that involved multiple countries, while the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan was focused on combating terrorism and did not involve defending a specific country against communist aggression.
