Explain how the spread of communism after the Vietnam war differed from u. s. strategiests' expectations

The reason why the spread of communism after the Vietnam war differed from the strategists' expectations of the U. S. was that they wanted to prevent the spread of communism in Asia, but also to stop the communist government to settle in Vietnam to rule it.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are that in the first place. The U. S. believed the communist movement was to spread communism through Asia because they believed in the "domino effect". Now, they were wrong about that, because the people wanted a revolution, not specifically communism. Also, they believed they would influence all the rest of its neighbors. When only a couple of countries followed communism. So, their theories were completely wrong. And their strategists' expectations failed because they only strengthened the sentiment of liberty seek in Vietnamese people.
