The United States didn’t necessarily loose the war. However by the end of the war, the US did not gain very much and they loosed an absurd amount of money. The war cost 150 billion for the US. In addition, they lost a significant amount of soldiers. In regards to many Americans being unhappy about how many American soldiers were loosing their lives, the US brought in Vietnamization. Overall, the war was in no means a success for the United States but they did not loose it. The Domino Theory did occur as a result. The Americans created the Domino Theory because they learned that communism was becoming more of a threat in other countries outside of Europe. They were scared that communism would spread like fire in South East Asia. This theory was the whole reason for the US being in Vietnam, and they wanted to make sure that all of Vietnam did not fall to Communism as well as South East Asia.
