to stop communism
The Korean War is sometimes called the Korean Conflict, because the Congress of the USA never declared war. The Vietnam War, sometimes called the Indochina War was another undeclared war. It is sometimes called Indochina War, because it involved fighting in Norh and South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
Yes the war in Vietnam was inevitable because the bone-head Government wouldn't have let the even the thought of Communism reach anywhere that they didn't want it to.
the forgotten war was the Korean War. The Korean War is called that because it was overshadowed by WWII and the Vietnam War.
No. Its two completely separate conflicts. The motives for both wars are however similar, as they both relate to the cold war. Both wars started because of the wests, mostly USA, efforts to stop the spread of communism. As the Korean war was seen as a succes on USAs behalf, the Vietnam war was a complete failure.
No, they were "police actions".

it hoped to defeat Communism by preventing its expansion to the other territories.
Contain communism.
The U.S got involved in The Korean war and Vietnam for many reasons. The U.S got involved in the Korean War because the United Nations called upon all member countries to help support South Korea. The United States had a relationship and treaties with South Vietnam so when the North attacked it was our duty to honor our relationship.
The Korean War was before Vietnam that the United States was involved in.
Communist forces gained more territory because of the Vietnam war, but not as a result of the Korean War :) -Apex-

The UN wasn't really involved in the Vietnam war. It was more involved in the Korean war which happened a few years earlier. American's fear of commmunism seemed to be cemeted when North Korea attacked South Korea, America then asked the UN intervenean to stop the attack. Eventually they organised a military force to stop the attack.
the Korean war was before the Vietnam war because it was right after ww2 the Korean war started in 1950
