I am attempting to write an alternate of the AMerican war between the states that would be analougouse to AMerica's war in Vietnam.

To whit,

A world Superpower becomes involved in a civil war between a popular northern faction and an unpular and corrupt southern faction.

The war proves to be long and very costly in both money and lives for the superpower, and becomes very unpopular at home, despite the fact that the SUperpower's forces are technically winning all of its battles.

The superpower is winning the battles, but losing the political war, and after a few years, a Prime Minister has already lost his job.

Et Centera.

How do I accomplish this in a somewhat realistic manner?
