The Korean conflict and Vietnam War were both conflicts fought as an effort to contain the spread of communism in Asia. The Korean Conflict, while a stalemate, prevented communism from spreading to South Korea, and was viewed as a success for the policy of containment. This also set a precedent for the future Vietnam War, by using military force in an attempt to once again contain communism. Unlike Korea, Vietnam failed to even produce a stalemate, and the Communist Viet Cong overtook the nation.
1. Both were highly mobile wars. 2. WW2 created AIRBORNE Divisions (Paratroopers): Vietnam War created AIRMOBILE Divisions (Helicopters). 3. Both wars experienced maximum effort aerial bombing campaigns by heavy bombers: WW2-B17/B29's; Vietnam-B52's. 4. Both wars were the FIRST wars in which US Infantrymen were armed with: WW2-M1 Garand "Semi-automatic" rifles; Vietnam-M16 "Fully automatic" rifles. 5. Both wars were fought using the same M1 steel infantryman's helmet (steel pot): WW2 was the first time; Vietnam was the last time. 6. Both wars were fought using the military draft. 7. Vietnam was the last war fought by WW2 veterans.
If you're referring to the US Civil War (American Civil War) the North won in both cases, the South lost in both wars and the Civil War & Vietnam were fought in the 60s (1860s/1960s).
