During the Korean War 1950-1953 America could put through its interests and politics against the Communists. Under the UNO, America rejected the aggressions from North Korean and Stalin, but not in Vietnam War. One problem was that the Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson hadn't seen that not only the communists but also the nationalist were their enemies. Another fault was that the allies weren't democrats; they had been corrupt and controlled by foreign countries. From 1965 to 1968 the war escalated and an half million soldiers were sent to East Asia, but the US citizens considered the war to be immoral. This war resulted in the highest number of casualties since 1945.
The continental expansion worked at the Korean War but not in Vietnam. America failed the first time to win a war.
