  46. Scenario Two: After World War II, A Vietnamese leader named Ho Chi Minh writes to President Truman and asks for the US to help him and his people fight against France for their freedom. Truman does not respond. Later, President Eisenhower sends money to help Frances in its fight against Ho Chi Minh. In 1954 the Vietnamese finally succeed in driving the French out of their country after a stunning victory at Diem Bien Phu. At the peace treaty it is agreed that Vietnam will be divided into the North (communist) and the South (democratic). The North believes that this division is temporary and that they will reunite with the South, but France and the US assume that this division is permanent. • Do you: • Leave Vietnam to its own future • Leave US soldiers in Vietnam to help the South get started as a government • Help the South build up a military so it can take over the North. • None of these suggestions works, I would rather do: • For each Decision, answer the following: • Why did you make this decision? • Which of the policies or agreements are you employing in your decision? • How do you expect the Soviet Union to respond to your actions and/or what message are you sending to the Soviet Union?
