Lines 148-161: why does king provide so much detail about the political history of Vietnam? Evaluate your whether these facts support his central idea.

Because he wants his audience to know Vietnam.

Explanation:

King addressed an American audience. He knew that this public did not, in fact, know Vietnam, but they relied on biased and often incorrect information, which painted Vietnam in a different image than it really was. King wanted to bring true information that would show Vietnam as a country that did not deserve to be attacked, much less "helped" in the way it was happening. For that reason, he gave so many details about the political history of Vietnam.
