The US helped the SOUTH Vietnamese. The North was the enemy!
North Vietnamese money or South Vietnamese money? There were two countries.
The US objective was to bolster the government of South Vietnam and keep it from being taken over by North Vietnam. The US spent much money and human life trying to achieve this goal, but in 1975 South Vietnam collapsed under a North Vietnamese invasion.
Because they had the communist and the non- communist on the north and south sides and the communist (north vietnam) one so the goverment took over and so they took all of propety, money, and bussness!
North Vietnam was supported by Soviet Union money and military equipment. Help also came from China, and later from Cuba. South Vietnam, as a member of the South East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO), was supported by the United States, Canada, South Korea, Australia, and the Philippines.
In 1954, the Vietminh forces of Vietnam defeated the French at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, and the nation was temporarily divided into two sections, north and south. The people of the south chose Ngo Dinh Diem as their ruler and Ho Chi Minh ruled the north. Diem refused to go along with the planned elections in 1956 to unite the nation so the Vietminh members in the south created the Viet Cong and the war between north and south for control of the country began. Diem realized he would probably lose the elections. Many communists had moved south from the north and would probably not vote for Diem's regime. The US encourage Diem with aid and money. He was even considered a "George Washington of South Vietnam" by some of the American media. With US support, Diem felt he could defeat the communists so he declared a republic in South Vietnam. The government of South Vietnam requested military advisors from the United States to help train the South Vietnamese army. MrV
America's policy was that we had spent enough lives and money trying to save a corrupt and inept country that couldn't defend itself (South Vietnam). Now it was time to let the inevitable happen, and that was to let South Vietnam fall to North Vietnam. The USA did it's best, but, we couldn't do anymore.
The North Vietnamese Army used Cambodia as a refuge from Vietnam, as a supply route into South Vietnam, and forced Cambodian peasants to do the Army's bidding along the Cambodian/South Vietnam border. Money and favors to Pol Pot, the Cambodian head of state, encouraged and enabled him to extreme dictatorial powers, eventually killing millions of people opposed to his rule.
Money is the same in both the North and the South. In different countries the money value is different.
1. The US did not habitually give money to its victorious enemies. Funds may have been distributed to vanquished foes such as Germany & Japan after WWII; but not to a victorious one. The term "habitually" may not even apply for this question as the Vietnam War was America's first experience of not defeating another nation. 2. North Vietnam received plenty of support from Red China & the USSR. They certainly didn't need any from the US. 3. North Vietnam didn't exist after the Vietnam War ended in '75. Both South Vietnam & North Vietnam ceased to exist after 1975. They both became one country.
Vietnam has a communist government.Communism is a social structure in which classes are abolished and property is commonly controlled, as well as a political philosophy and social movement that advocates and aims to create such a society.
People in the South referred to the Civil War as "The rich mans' war and the poor mans' fight" because the North [the rich men] due to the industrial revolution had more money and you tactics and weapons one might use in a major war. While the South [the poor men] were still economically based through agriculture and did not have the extra money the North had because they stayed that way and did not industrialised the South had to use more common weapons and different tactics to match up with the weapons they had to use.
The North.
