What was one reason the Vietnam war was such a dividing issue ?

Hi there!


Vietnam would be divided by a demilitarised zone (the DMZ), with the French withdrawing their forces from Vietnam north of the zone and the Viet Minh withdrawing their forces from the south. ... Before long Diem's authoritarian regime was challenged by local communists, backed by the regime in North Vietnam.

Hope this helped! Have a great day!
