The Vietnam War began as a war of nationalism, with the Vietnamese their French colonial powers for independence following World War II. The United States became involved in the struggle out of fear that the new country would be Communist.
The Vietnamese scored a decisive victory over the French at Dienbienphu in 1954, but the United States retained its interest in Vietnam. A conference in Geneva provisionally divided Vietnam into the North under Communist-backed President Ho Chi Minh and the South under American-backed President Ngo Dinh Diem, with elections on the issue of reunification scheduled for 1956. Probably the most important impetus for hostilities was Diem's decision to cancel the elections out of fear that he would lose.O SNAP GTG.
President Kennedy sent the first advisers/trainers into South Vietnam. President Johnson supported a major build-up of troops, and then President Nixon enacted the withdrawal from Vietnam.
Q who was the victor of the Vietnam war? A I have no idea who won the Vietnam war!!!!
Korea. Although there was conflict in Vietnam against the French in the 1950s, it is more associated with the intervention of the US in the 1960s... Korea was 1950 to 1953. Effectively the UN (US & British mainly) against the Chinese backed North Koreans. Korea is still divided along the 38th Parallel.
