The Vietnam war was gruesome. Many people died in this awful battle that began in 1955. It was a tragic time for everyone involved. Although this is true, we came out stronger than ever.

Answer:

The Vietnam War is also known as the Second Indo-China War and in Vietnam as the Resistance War Against America. It was the second of the Indo-China Wars that was fought between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. North Vietnam was supported by the Soviet Union, China and other communist allies.

On the other hand, South Vietnam was supported by the United States, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand, and the other anti-communist allies were also there for support. The war lasted 19 years and was also called the Cold War by many. The war had direct U.S. involvement, and it ended in 1973.

During World War II, Japanese forces had invaded Vietnam. To fight it off, both Japanese occupiers and French Colonial administration, the political leader H.o Chi Minh formed the Viet M.inh, being inspired by the C.hinese and Sov.iet Comm.unism. The Viet Minh was also known as the League for the Inde.pendence of Vietnam.
