Operationel Rolling Thunder

Operation Rolling Thunder was a continuous U.S. military bombing campaign during the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1968. Its goal was to weaken North Vietnam's ability to support the Viet Cong and to pressure North Vietnam into stopping its support for attacks in South Vietnam. The campaign involved extensive airstrikes targeting factories, transportation routes, and military installations. Despite the heavy bombing, it did not achieve its intended political and military objectives, highlighting the complexities of warfare and the limits of air power in resolving insurgencies and political conflicts.
