Communism: A type of government in which the government controls all the economic activities.
Vietnam is the country (formerly part of French Indochina). But technically the communist North was independent in 1954 after defeating the French, and took another 20 years to extend their rule over the people in South Vietnam.
in the 1950s, the french government was the leading commanding military force in south Vietnam. they were defeated and over run by the north vietnamese troops around 1958 because north Vietnam wanted the french influence thrown out of south Vietnam. the french were massacred. following this, the united states sent u.s advisors, such as the green berets and marine force reconasence, under the orders of president eisenhower. president eisenhower did this because russia and china were pouring in war supplies to north Vietnam. north Vietnam wanted to overcome south Vietnam and gain communist control. north Vietnam, along with russia and china, were communiist, and still are. my boyfriend served 3 tours in Vietnam and was a company force reconasence commander.
There was a threat of south Vietnam becoming communist .. and we of all countries did not want this to happen... it was known as the "domino effect" (named by President Eisenhower). This means that if one country falls to communism, they all will. What basically started all of the war was when a U.S. ship entered the Gulf of Tonkin. Northern Vietnam felt in danger because of our presence, so they fired at us. We had a reason to fire back so we did.

South Vietnam was already a sovereign nation by the time the US entered the nation. Its title was the "Republic of South Vietnam."
