How was Australia involved & What was the duty during the Cold War?
The ANZUS was a treaty between (AUS, NZ, USA) were they agreed to help each other in matters of common defence. This is where North Vietnam and South Vietnam were fighting each other because South Vietnam did not agree on communism. South Vietnam had taken action in getting in contact with the USA forces asking for help. The USA had promised to help anyone with communism problems within and out of there country. Together the ANZUS fought trying to keep the anti-communist countries safe from the threat of communism because there had been a spread starting from ten countries which had been following along making there countries communist. The spread of communism (Domino Theory) where the theory of communism will take over since it had already been taking over many countries. Because of this since 1945 over a dozen countries had fallen to communism wih China which is now a communist country till today. People then began to take action and they started to think of it differently because of the terror that occured in Vietnam which wasnt fair. The war had ended in 1963 and Vietnam still has its ways because until today it is a proud, communist country along with other countries like Cuba and China. As for the other communist countries they had ended the communism and are now differed to the communist countries. These countries include Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Albania and Congo which all ended communism in 1992.
