The quality voices (VdQ) are items that have been shown to be of good quality, especially in terms of reliability of the content, but which are still (or is unlikely to reach) a quality equal to that of the items on display.
To be considered "quality", an entry must meet the strict criteria: to be well written, factually accurate, sufficiently detailed, neutral, stable and illustrated wherever possible, images or other multimedia files with meaningful and appropriate licenses .
In addition to what has already been pointed out, the fundamental characteristic of the "quality voices", beyond each measurement, in terms of quantity and of kilobytes, is that of being perfectly verifiable, being equipped with sources of irreproachable quality in support of the information contained which means that items are not very long, provided accurate information and bring back sufficiently comprehensive, can aspire to the recognition of "voice quality". If, on the one hand, the "voice quality" are not exhaustive as the items to display, it should not be omitted any relevant aspect of the argument: a comparison between the criteria "quality items" and display further illustrate differences.
To be recognized as a "quality", the entries must successfully pass a specific evaluation or contribute to write if you find an item that you believe meets the above criteria and are eligible to vote on the pages, you can candidarla, adding of the page signals, so that the one or more reviewers assess and, in case of positive response, the add to the list of entries of quality. An item can also be recognized quality during a reporting procedure or removing an item from the display case, if they do not reflect the criteria of excellence, but still meets the requirements of VdQ.
Similarly, anyone who meets the requirements to vote on users may request that an item that no longer meets the requirements for "quality items" is removed from the list, following the removal instructions (on this page is also possible to resolve any disputes). If an item does not exceed the specific assessment of the "voices of quality" and is subsequently removed from the category dedicated to the special procedure, the auditors involved in the decision should provide explanations and suggestions on possible improvements to the talk page of the item.
A silver star Crystal Clear action bookmark Silver.svg at the top right of the entry indicates that the item is currently recognized as "quality" and another small silver star list of interwiki indicates that the item is "quality" in another language, for the full list, you can see the category of quality entries in other languages.

The Vietnam War (Vietnam War in English, Vietnamese Việt Nam Chien Tranh) was the war fought between 1960 (date of establishment of the National Liberation Front, pro-communist) and April 30, 1975 (fall of Saigon), mainly in territory of South Vietnam, between the forces of pro-communist insurgency that emerged in opposition to the pro-American authoritarian government established in South Vietnam, and the government forces of this state, created in 1954 after the Geneva Conference, after the so-called war Indochina against French colonial occupation (1945-1954).
The conflict, which began in reality since the mid-fifties with the first outbreak of guerrilla and terrorist activity in opposition to the South Vietnamese government, he saw the massive direct involvement of the United States of America that increasingly British expanded their military forces to help the government of South Vietnam, to commit an enormous complex of ground forces, naval and air from 1965 to 1972, with a maximum of nearly 550,000 soldiers in 1969 [7]. The North American power failed, despite this show of force to achieve political-military victory, but suffered heavy losses on the contrary, only to leave his fate in 1973, the Saigon government. In support of the American forces took part in the conflict also sent contingents from South Korea, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines.
On the other side forces intervened in support of pro-communist NLF (Viet Cong defined by the U.S. and South Vietnamese) the regular army of North Vietnam infiltrated that, since 1964, more and more troops into the territory of Vietnam South, engaging in fierce battles against U.S. forces during the offensive culminating in the final campaign of 1975. Moreover, China and the Soviet Union supported North Vietnam and Viet Cong forces with continuous and massive supplies of weapons and with their political and diplomatic support.
The Vietnam War did not interest only the territory of South Vietnam, but gradually involving Laos (officially neutral, but in fact the subject of covert U.S. military operations and continuous infiltration of North Vietnamese troops) and Cambodia, heavily affected by attacks American air and land (1969-1970) and finally overrun by North Vietnamese forces in support of the communist Khmer Rouge guerrillas. Even the same North Vietnam was repeatedly hit by heavy and continuous air strikes U.S. (1964 to 1968 and again in 1972) unleashed North Vietnamese military capabilities to weaken and break the political will of the Hanoi government to continue the fight against insurgency in the south .
The war ended in April 1975 with the fall of Saigon, the collapse of the government of South Vietnam and the political reunification of the whole territory under the Vietnamese Communist leadership in Hanoi. The United States suffered the first real political and military defeat in their history and they had to accept the total failure of their political and diplomatic objectives.
Vietnamese historiography in this conflict is known as the "American War" (in Vietnamese Tranh Chong My Cuu Chien Nuoc, literally "War against the Americans to save the nation"), or even as Khang Chien Chong MY ("war of resistance against the Americans ").
France's attempt to regain possession of the old colonial territories, lost during World War II after the Japanese occupation of Indochina, had caused the stiff resistance of the Vietminh nationalist movement, closely linked to the Chinese and Soviet Communist powers and guided by a leader like Ho Chi Minh significant [8].
The long war in Indochina (1945 - 1954) fought stubbornly from France with a major military engagement and with the increasing financial and logistical support of the United States of America (according to the political theory of the establishment of the U.S. "containment" of the "infection Communist "anywhere in the world, even when disguised as a nationalist independence movement [9]), ended in a catastrophic way for the French: the crushing defeat of Dien Bien Phu pitched (May 7, 1954) sanctioned the failure of the plans of France and United States and earned enormous prestige in Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh movement [10].
The intervention of major powers (U.S., China, the Soviet Union and Great Britain) led to the Peace Conference in Geneva [11] in July 1954 that ended poorly for the Vietminh movement (also because of the tendency to compromise part of China and the Soviet Union): the Indochinese peninsula was, in fact, divided into four independent states of Laos, Cambodia, North Vietnam and South Vietnam [12], the latter separated along the 17 º parallel in North Vietnam was established kind of a people's republic led by the Communist Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh movement (with its capital Hanoi), closely linked to China and the Soviet Union, while South Vietnam is established the authoritarian government of the Catholic president Ngo Diem Đình (with capital Saigon), supported financially and militarily by the United States.
Ho Chi Minh, the famous revolutionary war in Indochina and the president of North Vietnam
The Geneva Accords actually itemise the provisional nature of this solution in times of general elections expected to unify the nation politically, to be held in June 1956, but this election would never have done.
The government of South Vietnam's President Diem, backed by the United States in the Eisenhower administration [13], was strengthened in the early years after its establishment, thanks to the propaganda success obtained with the influx of nearly one million Vietnamese, mostly Catholic minority emigrated to the south after leaving the Communist north (so-called "Operation Passage to Freedom", orchestrated by the U.S. [14]), a vigorous policy of repression of the Vietminh forces remained in the south and an effective fight against secret societies trying to undermine the authority of government [15]. Deeply hostile to Ho Chi Minh and the North Vietnamese communist government, Diem (not lacking in quality and personally incorruptible [16]), supported by Americans who increased economic and military aid and strengthened their contingent of military advisers, refused to hold general elections scheduled for 1956 that would have favored the communist influence on the government of the South [17], because it was believed that the Communists would not allow free elections in North Vietnam.
The communist government of Ho Chi Minh initially maintained a cautious approach (called in this sense also from China and the Soviet Union) in anticipation of planned general elections which were expected favorable results, despite the disastrous failure of his agricultural reform that collectivist mold had alienated many sympathies gained by fighting indipendentistica.
Under the command of Rear Admiral Donald W. Wulzen, the VII th Amphibious Force of the United States Navy began landing operations on the coast of South Vietnam to 08:15 on 8 March 1965: 3,500 Marines of the 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB), led by Brigadier General Frederick J. Karch, accompanied by helicopters, landing craft, trucks and jeeps, they landed on beaches code-named "Red Beach Two" and "China Beach" along the coastline adjacent to the port city of Da Nang, meeting then 4 miles northwest of this, there was opposition from the guerrillas and the people joyfully welcomed U.S. troops [75]. The Marines went in addition to the 25,000 U.S. military advisers were already in place.
The original plan foresaw that this Marine unit was used only to protect the large military base at Da Nang from threats of the enemy, and Johnson took care to minimize the importance of the arrival of the first combat troops on Vietnamese soil, but soon Marines would enter directly into action against the Viet Cong units in the area [76].
On May 5, also entered the field the first U.S. Army combat units, the 173rd Airborne Brigade (part of the rapid deployment forces in the Pacific) was rischierata emergency by air from Okinawa to Bien Hoa base, to strengthen of the defenses of Saigon dangerously threatened by the Viet Cong troops. The airborne units should only be used to temporarily buffer the emergency situation, but had soon to spring into action and in practice would then remained in Vietnam until 1970 [77].
Finally, July 28, 1965 Johnson, faced with the growing forces of disintegration and aggression of South Vietnamese Viet Cong hours reinforced by the influx of regular North Vietnamese units [78], finally decided to accept the demands of men and means, and the war plan the commander in Vietnam, the Military Assistance Command in charge of, Vietnam ("Military Assistance Command, Vietnam" or MACV), General William Westmoreland, which included a commitment of almost unlimited direct U.S. combat troops in the war, and gave public announcement of its decisions (although he continued in part to mask the severity of propaganda tricks with his step) [79]. Then he took the very start the American escalation of the conflict in Indochina.
The next day, July 29, 4000 paratroopers belonging to the 1st Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division arrived in Vietnam, landing at the Bay of Cam Ranh yet to reinforce the American order of battle in Vietnam and protect the rugged and mountainous region in the Central Highlands.
