Vietnam and the Soviet Asian Strategy.

Abstract

This paper examines the place of the Vietnam war in Soviet Asian strategy. The USSR's policy toward North Vietnam since the mid-1950's is seen as a part of a broad strategy designed to reestablish the Sine-Soviet alleance by creating an American military threat to China. When the U.S. decided to gradually withdraw support from South Vietnam, the Soviet's goal shifted to containment of Chinese influence in Asia. (Author)
