The NVA's total military casualties was 1.1 million men. With an additional million in civilian casualties.
Probably just enough to qualify as a communist nation.
Not really. The Gulf of Tonkin is a body of water off the Vietnamese coast. American naval forces operating in the Gulf in 1964 claimed to have come under attack from communist Vietnamese patrol craft, although the truth of what happened remains in much dispute. At the time, the US used the incident as justification to increase its involvement against communist forces in Vietnam, which eventually turned into a huge deployment of US military forces.

They didn't win, North Vietnam won after the U.S pulled most of our ground troops out. The U.S. launched a few bombing campaigns (Linebacker I and Linebacker II), but eventually South Vietnam lost too much ground to the North and South Vietnam lost the war. Saigon (capital of South Vietnam) fell to communist forces on April 30, 1975. Most U.S. forces had pulled-out of South Vietnam by early 1973. When the north invaded, the south's officers fled, leaving their troops without leaders.
After the U.S. evacuated the American embassy in Saigon, North Vietnam which had already taken over much of South Vietnam invaded Saigon. They met little resistance. The war continued into the 1980s. The South Vietnamese were left under equipped and poorly trained. South Vietnam was united with North Vietnam. Only this time it was a communist country. Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Mihn City after the North's late leader, Ho Chi Mihn

The Vietnam War was much more signifcant for the U.S than the Korean War becuase History made an informative series for Vietnam, "Vietnam in HD". The Korean War didn't have as much gore or communist involvment to really make T.V material.
Vietnam took time and attention away from the war on Poverty. Hope this helps!
They had Russia backing them. The Communists back then were all followers of the "Great Communist Revolution" in Russia started by Trotsky and Lennon They had a much larger army and got help from the USSR. -- Nova Net
