Needs to me merged with Battle of Dien Bien Phu 128.195.100.178 05:43, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)
This page was originally about the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, and was then made into a redirect page to the Battle article. However, I would suggest that the two should not be considered identical - Dien Bien Phu is a still-existing town, with a population of over a hundred thousand. While the town is not all that important, it should still warrant a mention as a place, and not just be subsumed into the article about the event that happened there. There's more to Dien Bien Phu than the just battle.
As such, I've written a brief article about the town itself - it mentions the battle in introduction, so people will still be able to find it. I'll try to go through the links to this page and point them to the right article, too. Feel free to comment if you disagree with what I'm doing here. -- Vardion 12:35, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Quite right, Vardion. Good work. Tannin
[edit] The "Domino Theory"
Eisenhower wasn't the only one who belived in the Domino Theory. Lyndon B. Johnson rooted it into his "containment" plan.
