The USA tried to stop the deployment of communism so the actions I took to prevent such deployment was a succession of violent, corrupt and inefficient dictatorships that led to the rise in arms of several groups united under the self-styled National Liberation Front, Viet Cong, quickly supported by the then Soviet Union and Mao's China. Initially Saigon was losing ground. This led to the start of the Vietnam War.
