North or South Viets?
Just like the Pilgrams landing in America in the 1600s; the Vietnamese landed where ever they were welcomed in the 1970s.
WWII was America's LAST declared war.
You must be referring to the "Vietnamization" of the war. All that meant was turning the war over to the Viets, so the US could leave. Nothing more, nothing less. As to the actual question, North/South Vietnamese had been fighting since day one (at least 1955). If the question is referring to the Vietnamese language, Vietnam has used that language ever since the founding of the first Vietnamese state in Hoa Lu over 1000 years ago.
I don't think he ever traveled there if that is your question. He was the president that initially got us involved in Vietnam by sending American advisors that included some CIA and some soldiers to advise the south Vietnamese army in their fight with the North after the French pulled out of Vietnam.
Granting amnesty to America who evaded the Vietnam draft by President Jimmy Carter was called the most disgraceful thing a president has ever done.
The American COLONIES belonged to Britain; America was the property of Great Britain. North or SOUTH Vietnam had no relationship to the US what so ever; SOUTH Vietnam just "happened" to be the next target of the communists. And America (United States) was an enemy of communism. When communists attacked; America responded (during the cold war).
Vietnam has never had a democratic government, so nothing has ever happened to this non-existent entity. If you are referring to the Republic of Vietnam (often called South Vietnam), which was a regime in the south of Vietnam from 1954-1975, this country was not a democracy. Although it has the word "Republic" in its name, it was really a state ruled by a strongman who was deeply beholden to US interests. As for what happened to this country, when the US withdrew military forces from Vietnam in 1973, the North Vietnamese Army overran the defenses of South Vietnam and conquered the country, bringing Vietnam into united Communist rule.

Yes!
From the perspective of the United States, the Vietnam War was not considered a defensive war. The U.S. intervened in Vietnam to support the South Vietnamese government and prevent the spread of communism. The U.S. saw its involvement as part of a broader strategy to contain communism during the Cold War. However, from the perspective of North Vietnam, the war was seen as a defensive struggle against imperialism and for national liberation.
The Viet Cong (VC) were Communist sympathizers living in SOUTH Vietnam. Very organized, wearing what-ever uniforms and using what-ever weapons they could get their hands on; and fighting primarily as organized guerillas against the Government of South Vietnam. The VC were pretty well destroyed as a fighting force during the TET offensive of 1968; and the war fairly well shifted to the NVA (North Vietnamese Army), after 1968.
