The French Indo-China War (1946-1954) had been fought by Viet Minch forces supported by the communists, and the French supported by the free world (US). As part of an agreement to end the war, the communists would have Vietnam north of the 17th parallel, and the free world would have the southern portion of Vietnam south of the 17th parallel.

You can use the term "Vietnamese" now because there is such a thing. But technically you couldn't during the war because there were two categories of Vietnamese; Southern ones and Northern ones. They were separate countries like todays South Carolina, South Dakota, and West Virginia are separate states in the United States of America. Those are separate states from NORTH Carolina, NORTH Dakota, and the state of VIRGINIA. The Vietnam War would be like North Carolina or North Dakota fighting South Carolina and South Dakota. North Vietnam was the enemy in the Viet War. South Vietnam was the ally of the US.
