Story: After the Japanese defeat in WWII, the Viet Minh, Communist forces within Vietnam, immediately set up a government in Vietnam. However, the French wanted their old colony back, and were unwilling to accept Vietnamese independence. The French were successful at pushing the Communist forces out of the southern half of Vietnam, but the Viet Minh soon retreated into the hills to regroup and began employing guerilla tactics against the French. In response, the French began a massive build-up of the fort at Dien Bien Phu. The Viet Minh surrounded the fort and laid siege for several months. Tired and badly outnumbered the French position was finally overrun in a decisive battle. The French pulled out of the region. In accordance with the peace accords, Vietnam remained split at the 17th parallel. A Communist government was formed in the north, while a democratic one was formed in the south. Enter the United States, who opposed the Communist government in the north and supported the rabidly anti-Communist government of Ngo Dinh Diem, in the south. Diem began efforts to suppress all Communist activity, refused to allow elections, and outwardly opposed any unification under a Communist government. The Viet Minh have once again been called into action as unrest has spread throughout the impoverished country. Now Communist agitators from the North, Vietcong, are infiltrating South Vietnam and regular North Vietnamese regiments are poised to intervene. The U.S. has signed a treaty with South Vietnam, pledging support. President Lyndon Johnson has ordered combat-ready troops into Vietnam. Stop the Vietcong and Viet Minh from taking control of South Vietnam! Indo-china must not fall to the Communists! Employ any force necessary!
