The war lasted approx. 20 years and put a huge financial strain on the US economy. Apart from just the finances, the fact that the war lasted for so long with no end in sight, made it a polarizing issue in the US.

As more and more young American soldiers died and many more suffered life-changing wounds, the public sentiment against the war turned negative.

By the 30th of April 1975, the city of Saigon fell to the enemies and the United States effectively pulled out.

The correct answer is 1. More than 50,000 American soldiers died during the Vietnam War.

Explanation:

The cost of lives in the Vietnam War was extremely high. The total number of Vietnamese killed, civilian or military, ranges from 966 000 to 3.8 million. Between 240,000 and 300,000 Cambodians, and 20,000 to 62,000 Laotians also lost their lives. The Americans estimate their losses at 58,000 dead soldiers, over 300,000 wounded and 1,626 still missing in 1975. For the United States, the Vietnam War resulted in one of the largest armed confrontations the country has ever been involved in, and the defeat provoked the "Vietnam Syndrome" in its citizens and society, causing deep repercussions on its culture, film industry and major change in its foreign policy until the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980.
