Reply to comment by Happypappy007 in TIL of the less well known and earlier War in Vietnam (1945-1946), which was a military success. by VengefulMight

DeGaulle wouldn't have turned France into a full-blown Communist one-party Soviet client state. But he could've definitely thrown a hissy fit and refused to fully cooperate with US military and economic plans in Europe for a while.

DeGaulle was infamously proned to hissy fits.

Most historians give Truman high marks for his foreign policy. In the main, I do too. His Vietnam policy- if you can call it that - was a major blunder.
