Vietnam, was not a political battle. It was a military struggle between two groups with different economic philiosophies, Capitalism, and Communism. Of course the US involved itself to help the Capitalist party.

One of the things that often accompanies communism, is Dictatorship, which was the US' official reason for entering, to support the party with the right to vote, but it was actually a show of power against Russia and China. The US feared, what President Eisenhower called the domino effect, or that if one country became communist, many would follow, and thus, the US intervened in many countries to try and stop this from occurring.

How is the Cold War linked to the Vietnam War?

The Vietnam War is the most famous, but there were many other wars which were part of the greater conflict known as the Cold War. They were armed clashes between Communist and Free Word ideologies, fought in Third World nations. Without the Cold War, the Vietnam War would have simply been a colonial war between the Vietnamese and the French. Vietnam was divided (as Korea was) into North and South. The North was backed by Communism, and the South was backed by the Free World, although in the end the US paid the highest price for it.

Why did Vietnam become divided in 1954?

It is somewhat like Korea. After the harsh colonial French Master had been soundly defeated by the Vietnamese, two groups of people had two different ideologies. One group was the Vietcong, Vietnamese Communists who were located in North Vietnam. The other group supported the idea of Democracy, and were located in South Vietnam. Note: North Vietnam had finally won the Vietnam War in 1970s with the aid of China and USSR (Soviet Union.). The Americans lost because the troops were not willing to fight the war as Vietnam was far from US and the troops couldn't see the point of winning the war.
