The 1st IndoChina War, also called the "French Indo-China War", or the "French Vietnam War."
Q who was the victor of the Vietnam war? A I have no idea who won the Vietnam war!!!!
The US (not called the US back then, but the 13 colonies) separated from Great Britain during the Revoluntionary War of 1776. Vietnam separated from France during the French Indo-China War 1946-1954.
During the war the south used French "P's" (Piasters).
One of the main reasons was to separate the Vietnam War from the French War or French Vietnam War (which is often referred to as the French Indochina War; and lately, the 1st Indochina War). To makes things simple: The French Indochina War and the US (American) Vietnam War, might be the easiest way to remember it.
