>Cause of separation of North and South Vietnam?
South was White and North Yellow.

>Reasons behind United States & Allied intervention in the war?
They were envy.

>How much support to the Viet Cong was given by the USSR and the PROC?
A lot.

>Lasting effects of the war (shifting superpowers, added mistrust in United States government/military)?
Soviet Union crashed and bitcoin went to moon.

>How much support to the Viet Cong was given by the USSR and the PROC?

Much more than previously thought. The old figure was $40 billion Soviet and $20 billion Chinese 1945-1975 (unadjusted for inflation). The newer figure released in The Sword and the Shield by Vasili Mitrokhin in his 2014 revised edition claims $120 billion Soviet and $50 billion Chinese, unadjusted for inflation.

The majority of this support went into air defense, giving Vietnam probably the largest air defense network in history. In 1975 it consisted of 80 SAM batteries (~500 individual launchers) with 12,000 Anti-Aircraft Guns and an air force of ~300 combat aircraft. More importantly, there was a massively disproportionate amount of radar per AD site allowing them to operate again shortly after the US bombed them.

Nonetheless its SAM network proved only marginally successful (contributing only about 15% of US losses in Vietnam) but massive use of radar-guided AAA combined with bad US tactics early in the conflict saw the notorious losses we all know about (pic related).

By about 1968 the US improved their tactics quite a bit (abandoning reckless low-altitude bombing runs and adopting sophisticated SEAD aircraft and introducing the magnificent F-111) and the "happy time" of Vietnamese AD had ended and they began to endure egregious losses. By the time of the Paris Peace Accords Vietnamese air defense had largely been annihilated as a cohesive force and were more or less "mobile" AAA units that hid underground until US aircraft passed by

But how I went from Sino-Soviet support to Viet AA is just my autism

Why Romans?

Only Wahhabis do, really.

>>2574784

>The Way of the Samurai is found in death. When it comes to either/or, there is only the quick choice of death. It is not particularly difficult. Be determined and advance. To say that dying without reaching one's aim is to die a dog's death is the frivolous way of sophisticates. When pressed with the choice of life or death, it is not necessary to gain one's aim.

>We all want to live. And in large part we make our logic according to what we like. But not having attained our aim and continuing to live is cowardice. This is a thin dangerous line. To die without gaining one's aim is a dog's death and fanaticism. But there is no shame in this. This is the substance of the Way of the Samurai. If by setting one's heart right every morning and evening, one is able to live as though his body were already dead, he gains freedom in the Way. His whole life will be without blame, and he will succeed in his calling.

Is Depression a form of existential crisis?
>realizing life and every single one of it's pleasures, is not worth living for
>realizing death is the only escape from this purgatory
If it is, then I've been on that ride for a few years now.

They often go hand in hand. I found hedonism to be a wholly unsatisfactory mode of existence, so I've decided to pursue a higher ideal (a combination of Stoicism and Christianity) to alleviate my existential depression. Even if my philosophy is ultimately untrue, it gives me a sense of spiritual satisfaction that goes above and beyond the Epicurean approach

>What went wrong?

He did not understand that, in the final analysis, it didn't matter if the President was some haberdasher accidentally vaulted into the office, while he (McArthur) was the victor of the Pacific and had been virtually the Emperor of post-war Japan, the President was still his Commander in Chief..

I am under the impression he was a very good and celebrated general up until some time (I think he Korean wars) where he became pretty much the polar opposite.

So he got too big for his britches?

It probably would have been better if the pope wasn't such a pussy and let them unify

>>2574634
Why unify a bunch of people who want nothing to do with each other?

>>2574634
Are you stupid? Nothing good came out of the unification. It's what turned the peninsula into an irrelevant shithole today.

What aid. They could not do much, Cartage did not have the manpower or the possibility to acquire one without mercenaries. The Barcid power base of Hispania was already taken care of by the Romans.
Also Cartage did send help, twice.
Have fun taking care of the city of Rome with an army of mercenaries that's not that big without slaughtering literally every able bodied male.
