A guerra de Vietnam foi un conflicto bélico que enfrentou entre 1955 y 1975 á República de Vietnam, ou Vietnam do Sur, apoiada principalmente polos Estados Unidos, contra a República Democrática de Vietnam, ou Vietnam do Norte, apoiada polo bloque comunista.
A República Democrática de Vietnam contou co apoio de movementos guerrilleiros norvietnamitas como o Viet Cong ou Fronte de Liberación Nacional e de suministros soviéticos e chinos. Polo outro lado, a República de Vietnam tivo apoio militar e loxístico dos Estados Unidos. En axuda dos estadounidenses tamén participaron tropas de combate de Australia, Corea do Sur, Filipinas, Nova Zelanda e Tailandia. Outros países como Alemaña, Irán, Marrocos, Reino Unido e Suiza contribuíron con suministros materiais e equipamento médico. Continxentes testimoniais en apoio dos Estados Unidos foron enviados por Taiwán e España, que mobilizou a un reducido grupo de médicos militares en misión sanitaria.
No bando de Vietnam do Norte morreron 10 veces máis persoas que no do Sur. Aínda así, despois do fin da guerra, co triunfo do norte comunista sobre o sur, a guerra de Vietnam quedou marcada na moral e na opinión pública como a segunda derrota na historia militar dos Estados Unidos, despois da Guerra de Corea.
Imaxina que non hai paraíso,
é fácil se o probas.
Sen inferno debaixo de nós
e enriba só o ceo.
Imaxina a toda a xente
vivindo para hoxe.
Imaxina que non hai países
non é duro de facer.
Nada polo que vivir ou morrer
e sen relixión tamén.
Imaxina a toda a xente
vivindo a vida en paz.
Pode que digas que son un soñador,
pero non son o único.
Espero que algún día te unas a nós
e o mundo sexa como un só.
Imaxina que non hai posesións,
pregúntome se podes.
Sen necesidade de gula ou fame,
unha fraternidade de homes.
Imaxina a toda a xente
compartindo o mundo enteiro.
Pode que digas que son un soñador,
peno non son o único.
Espero que algún día te unas a nós
e o mundo viva como un só.
