Korea was the FIRST "Hot" battle of the Cold War. Vietnam was the SECOND "Hot" battle of the Cold War. The Communists lost (or stalemated) with the first battle, but won the second battle. The communists were contained in Korea. They expanded in Vietnam.
The policy of containment in Vietnam was a US foreign policy to contain and isolate the spread of communism to neighboring countries. If communism were not contained in North Vietnam, then South Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand would inevitably become communist as well.

Containment didnt really start in Vietnam. it started before that..Cold War. But the U.S. went for containment so that the dominoe theory wouldnt happen (other Asian countries becoming communist). Vietnam was like the mountain to die on.
