Ho Chi Minh&#x27;s successes against the French and then the US stirred a wave of anticolonialism across the globe. If you&#x27;re arguing &quot;domino theory!&quot; as a political win (which is questionable anyway), then you should also account for the rise of many NATO-hostile nations from anticolonialism as well.<p>However, since you apparently think that death count is the only thing that matters, that must mean that the South won the US civil war, since the North lost more lives.<p>I must say though, it is disturbing that you count <i>civilian dead in the South</i> as being a point towards US victory, given that the US involvement was supposed to be <i>defending those people</i>.
