The first detail you need to know is that the Vietnamese War (roughly 1963 to 1975) and the Korean War (1950-1953) were two different wars taking place at different times and in different locations. There are some striking similarities, however. In both cases, a country was divided into two parts, with the northern part being communist and the southern part being anti-communist, and the US became involved in a struggle to prevent the north from taking over the south, an effort which was successful in the case of the Korean War and unsuccessful in the case of the Vietnamese War.
