Introduction

The Vietnam War was fought on the Vietnam Peninsula in Asia, from 1964—1975. The North Vietnamese were fighting against the South Vietnamese and their primary ally, the United States. Over three million people died during the Vietnam War, including 58,220 American soldiers who went forth from every state in the nation. 58,212 of the deceased soldiers were men, and 8 of them were women. The number of soldiers sent to Vietnam who did not return home varies a lot from state to state, ranging from as low as 50 in some states, to above 5,000 in others.
