Why did war of Vietnam begin?
The incident started in the beginning of 20th century when a Vietnamese nationalist Ho Chin Minh was studying in U.S and wrote to president to seek their help to run the country which was then under French but all this was not attended by U.S that time. Afterwards they approached this same man and said that after their help to fight against Japan U.S will definitely help Vietnamese to get their independence. But U.S moved from its word then people in Vietnam united under Minh to stand against France. At that time a treaty named S.E.A.T.O. was signed by Vietnam. North was the communist and south became democratic.
Truman and western allies took communism as the big threat after World War II in December 1949 Chinese communist forces met victory in the civil war. Now France tried to capture the control over south East Asian countries including Vietnam in 1945 after the world war ended. U.S feared that the communism may spread to the other countries. U.S felt that they should now fulfill the needs of Vietnam to avoid it going into the hands of Ho Chi Minh which will again unite the Vietnam and form communist rule. So they started supplying weapons to south to help them so that they can protect themselves from rebels. U.S sent combat troops to South Vietnam. So the two groups started clashing.
War started in 1959 and was one of the brutal battles fought between Democratic Republic of Vietnam and Republic of Vietnam. It was ended after 16 long years. Many men lost their lives. Finally a treaty was signed in which U.S army has to move out of Vietnam and it was united again.

The above information is inaccurate. The first error is the statement that ” Ho-Chi Minh attended school in the United States” is absolutely the opposite of the truth.! Nguy?n Ái Qu?c, also known as Ho Chi Minh, was educated in France.; and, later in life would receive a supplemental education in the Soviet Union.
The main facet of Minh’s regime, was to insert a massive form of ” Stalinst” communism in place within the spectrum of the Vietnamese government, at any cost. The United States helped supply the French with weaponry from 1947-1954. However, after the North Vietnamese under Ho Chi Minh began invading the South, the United States went from sending military advisors to regular military troops. In addition, it is important to remember that after the Geneva accords of 1954, Vietnam was separated into two separate nations. The North Vietnamese were not rebels, they were invaders of the South Vietnamese nation.
