∙ 13y agoThe communist superpowers; the USSR and Communist China SUPPLIED North Vietnam. The USSR/Communist Chinese were "friends" and supplied so many tanks, jets, guns, rifles, machine guns, grenades, trucks, patrol boats, missiles, radar sites that the North Vietnamese probably thought being a communist like their friends, the Soviets and Communist Chinese, was a good thing.
Besides, Ho Chi Minh had studied communism and he became a devoted communist long before the Vietnam War, back in the 1920s. He was the leader of North Vietnam and North Vietnam would become a communist nation.
It can be argued that neither the USSR or Communist China supplied the North Vietnamese forces. Neither country wanted to start a full nuclear war with the US, which would have happened if such a thing occurred. One reason for US influence in the Vietnamese Civil War was a SUSPICION of help from Communist China, which later turned out to be false.
