| | "Vietnam History" |
 | | By the seventeenth century, Vietnam, which means "Land of the South," was no longer a small country, facing its archenemy in the north, but had extended its frontiers until our people looked over the Gulf of Siam. |
| | By the end of that conference American diplomats were convinced that a stable South Vietnam was vital to world and American security, particularly as the new Red China had become increasingly powerful under the five-year-old rule of Mao Tse-tung. |
| | In December 1960, when American military personnel in vietnam totaled 900, the NLF produced a ten-point manifesto, pledging among other things to overthrow the "colonial regime of the american imperialist" and President Diem, and to reestablish normal relations between North and South, and the eventual peaceful reunification of the country. |
