F965 Vietnam/C

Hi everyone!
I'm just starting my real coursework for A2 history and the question is concerning the way that Cold War pressures influenced how JFK behaved regarding US involvement in Vietnam.
I'm pretty much stumped with this question due to the fact that we haven't really learned that much about the Cold War (due to the fact that our course is just focused on Vietnam). Any ideas about this would be greatly appreciated; I and a number of my classmates have literally no idea what to do for this question!
Thanks in advance, Rachel :smile:

I do know about the Cold War, I'm just having trouble linking it across to Vietnam and how it affected Kennedy in Vietnam :/

You seemed to be saying that you didn't.

What decisions did Kennedy make regarding Vietnam. How did they fit in (or not) with his attitude to the Soviets and the Cold War? Was he following a consistent policy?

The word 'pressures' deserves some attention, I would suggest.
