Vietnam war was fought in the South East Asian nation for 19 years during 1950s , 60s and 70s. In this horrific war South Vietnam lost 195,000Ð430,000 civilians and 220,357Ð313,000 military men. While North Vietnam lost 50,000Ð65,000 civilians and 400,000Ð1,100,000 military men.
Both were fought between a communist north and a free south country. The Reds won the Vietnam War but lost (or broke even) during the Korean War.
The question should read, "...tried to REGAIN control..."; France.
Louisiana lost 882 men in Vietnam.

Yes, the Chinese ruled Vietnam for 1,000 years until 939 AD, China was defeated by Vietnam and had lost control over Vietnam. Vietnamese soldiers and civilians in Vietnam were ruled by chinese soldiers and then finally the vietnamese soldiers fought back against the chinese soldiers and China lost the significant battle against Vietnam.

No. The U.S. lost the Vietnam War, as the communist North Vietnam succeeded in taking over South Vietnam (which the U.S. was allied with), and united the country as one Vietnam.
They were both hot battles of the cold war; both fought against communism, both fought between North and South adversaries, and both wars were sponsored & equipped by Red China and the USSR. Their were three basic differences: 1. Korea was fought on a peninsula; Vietnam was not. 2. Korea could be and was isolated (controlled by the US/Allies); Vietnam could not. 3. Korea was won (the communists were stopped); Vietnam was lost.
The nation (country) of Vietnam didn't exist during the Vietnam War. Nor was any nation called "Vietnam" fighting the US. There was a country called North Vietnam that defeated the Republic of South Vietnam in 1975. The US was allied to the RVN (Republic of South Vietnam).
Both countries wanted to repair their economies. France wanted to repossess its former empire and fought two long, bitter wars, which drained its resources - Vietnam (1946-1954) and Algeria in the 1950s. Britain lost its empire and has never really found a niche for itself since. :)
Vietnam won the French war. North Vietnam won the American Vietnam War. There was no such country named "Vietnam" during the American Vietnam War 1955-1975. There were two nations: North VN & South VN.
