By the mid 1960s American dominance of Welsh politics was widespread. The Welsh flirtation with Communism had opened many peoples eyes to the Red Threat. Thus when the US began operations to support the South Vietnamese the Senedd made a point of being very vocal in support of the Americans. This continued from 1962 to 1965 when, following a request from the American Ambassador to Wales, the Welsh Defence Minister announced the deployment of troops, aircraft and Navy units to South East Asia. Immediately this caused trouble. Both in the Senedd, from those Communists remaining, and with the Welsh public. The war was not popular in the US or across the water in Britain. Minor demonstrations were rife throughout the BFGs deployment to the area.
