It was a struggle against communism.
During the 1960s, Vietnam endured a significant and devastating war known as the Vietnam War, which involved North Vietnam and its communist allies fighting against South Vietnam and its primary ally, the United States. This conflict escalated throughout the decade, leading to widespread destruction and loss of life. The war was rooted in the struggle against colonialism and the Cold War dynamics, ultimately resulting in the fall of Saigon in 1975.
The Korean War (1950-1953) and the Vietnam War (1961-1975) were part of the COLD WAR, against the spread of communism.

The Vietnam conflict was a type of proxy war, in that our Cold War foe, Russia, heavily subsidized Communist North Vietnam in their fight with U.S. forces.
The Vietnam War and the Korean War differed primarily in their motivations and outcomes. The Korean War (1950-1953) was a direct response to North Korea's invasion of South Korea, resulting in a military stalemate and an armistice that left Korea divided along the 38th parallel. In contrast, the Vietnam War (1955-1975) was rooted in the struggle against colonialism and the spread of communism, with the U.S. attempting to support the South Vietnamese government against the communist North. Ultimately, while Korea remains divided, Vietnam unified under communist control after the U.S. withdrawal.
