The united states sent hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers to fight in the war
To prevent the spread of communism as a proxy war to the ongoing Cold War with the USSR.
The Cold War resulted in the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam conflict was a type of proxy war, in that our Cold War foe, Russia, heavily subsidized Communist North Vietnam in their fight with U.S. forces.
The cold war itself was just that - a cold war. No men died. The two competing super powers, Soviet Union, and the United States, had nuclear weapons. Neither of them fought directly to avoid destroying the Earth. Instead they fought through proxy wars. Or wars were either side would support one side and then the reverse. These two proxy wars were the Vietnam war and the Korean War. 50,000 men died in the Vietnam War and 33,000 died in the Korean war.
A proxy war or proxy warfare is a war that results when opposing powers use third parties as substitutes for fighting each other directly. So basically, a proxy war is similar to chess, where the "players" use "figures" to fight instead of themselves.
An example of a proxy war is the Vietnam War, where the United States supported South Vietnam, while the Soviet Union and China backed North Vietnam. This conflict exemplifies how superpowers engaged in indirect confrontation by supporting opposing sides in a local war, ultimately leading to significant geopolitical ramifications. The war highlighted the broader Cold War tensions between communist and capitalist ideologies.

The Vietnam War was considered a proxy war because it involved indirect conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, with both superpowers supporting opposing sides. The U.S. backed the South Vietnamese government, while the USSR and China supported the communist North Vietnam. This geopolitical struggle was rooted in the broader context of the Cold War, where each superpower sought to expand its influence without engaging in direct military confrontation. Consequently, Vietnam became a battleground for competing ideologies, namely capitalism versus communism.
