France owned Vietnam until they pulled out in the 1950's, and the US stepped in. After that, Vietnam was divided like Korea into Communist North and non-Communist South, but North Vietnam never accepted the division and always considered South Vietnam as the part of Vietnam occupied by the enemy.

∙ 13y agoPrior to WW2, (1939 to 1945), Vietnam was a colony of France. Then came the Japanese who kicked the French out and took over Vietnam. Then, the Japanese were kicked out, and the French thought they could go back to the way things were before the war. This led to a series of wars between the Communists and the Western Nations, which finally ended in 1975 when North Vietnam invaded and conquered South Vietnam. Vietnam was run by Vietnamese for the first time in a long time (although it is a Communist country which many people do not like).
