The French were originally the predominant foreign power in Vietnam (formerly French Indochina), but Chinese troops invaded to support the leader of North Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh, in his attempt to turn the south communist. The French were struggling and were assisted by America, who had an deep fear of communism. The French were defeated at Dien Bien Phu and withdrew altogether after the Geneva Conference which split the country at the 17th parallel. A civil war ensued between North and South Vietnam, communist vs capitalist. So America allied with the South to prevent a communist victory.
