∙ 12y agoIt was actually a sort of civil war between (in very general terms) the Northern and Southern portions of Vietnam. The Northerners wanted communist government and were supported by Red China. The Southerners wanted a democratic government and were supported by the French and then the Americans, with some support from other democracies.
The Vietnam War was not a civil war. What the Vietnamese people wanted was a free Vietnam without colonial rule. It was a war started by the French and escalated by the Americans. To the Vietnamese people the Vietnam war was call the "American war". The North Vietnamese army and the Viet Cong was supplied by the Chinese and Russians. While the South Vietnamese army was supplied by the American. These were the main countries in the Vietnam war.
