Best Answer

Yes and No. There were two Indochinese Wars and the Second Indochinese War corresponds to what is termed the Vietnam War in the United States and the American War in Vietnam. The First Indochinese War was a war primarily between the Viet Minh (the Vietnamese Communists who were the antecedents of the current Vietnamese government) and the French Colonial Administration.
