Answer:

From November 1st, 1955 until the fall of Saigon on April 30th, 1975, the Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War and in Vietnam as the Resistance War Against America or simply the American War, was a conflict in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.

The Vietnam War was a long, destructive and divisive confrontation that pitted North Vietnam's communist government against South Vietnam and the United States, its key ally. The persistent Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union has escalated the dispute.

In 1949, China had become communist and North Vietnam was dominated by the communists. The USA was afraid of the spread of communism to South Vietnam and then to the rest of Asia. To assist the South Vietnamese government, it decided to send money, supplies and military advisers.
