What led to the to the rise of the Communist government in Vietnam?
Same thing that is happening in Korea. Same thing that is happening in Iraq. Same thing that is happening in Afghanistan. American leaders had many reasons to go into these countries. One reason why the United States involved itself in the Vietnam War was to protect South Vietnam from North Vietnam. This act some would agree was strictly humanitarian. In hind sight, many will say that it did not matter if we went in to protect the South. When we left the country in 1975 and the North Vietnamese infiltrated the South and took it over again. The Vietnam War was mainly a political war, run by the politician's, not the War Department.
Who rules Vietnam?
Hard to say after 1945, the French suppose to rule Vietnam. But the French is too weak after World War 2 so the British India had to support the French thus Great Britain ruled Vietnam for a year. The Viet Minh lead by Ho Chi Minh also fight for the control of the country. The Japanese surrendered in 1945 but their official still held the French as P.O.W. and taught the Viet Minh how to fight until they are ordered to go back. So I would say the Allies ruled Vietnam while constantly under attack by the Vietnamese Communist Party.
Why was Vietnam divided at the 17th parallel?
The 17th parallel division between North and South Vietnam was the result of a Chinese proposal at the Geneva Conference of 1954 which ended the French war in Vietnam. China did not want a strong, unified Vietnam on its southern border and easily convinced the great powers to go along with their proposal. Ho Chi Minh was dependent on Chinese aid and had to go along. Elections were scheduled for 1956, but South Vietnam, which did not sign the Geneva Accord, refused to participate.
When did the US go to war in Vietnam?
Guerrilla war in South Vietnam '55; conventional war with North Vietnam '64.
Why is Vietnam important to American history?
The U.S. participated in the Vietnam War. We were allies with the South Vietnamese. Vietnam won their independece from France and then they split into North and South. We helped and aided the South Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. If the young are finally given the correct history on the Vietnam War (I'd rather place my bet on a Vietnam War Vet speaking to the kids than any books could tell) then that's magic, because the U.S. government not only lost that war, but they under-estimated their enemy. For the first time in American History many American citizens were torn over this war and didn't give the Vietnam Vets who made it home the honor they deserved. The U.S. Government gave little aid to the Vets and many of them had psychological problems (trauma) and also drug addiction. The U.S. government tried to hide the embarrassment of this war and took it out on the very men who served their country. If anything should be learned about this war all countries shouldn't be quite so hasty to go into war before learning more and getting to know their real enemy. War simply makes money! Some wars have to be fought, but the Vietnam War was a mistake and isn't that a lovely label to put on the Vietnam Vets. If you really want to learn about the Vietnam War go on websites and talk to Vietnam Vets!

Can anybody send me a link where there are details on North-Vietnam politics during the Vietnam war?
Try search engine for: North Vietnam, Vietnam War, Ho Chi Minh, Viet Minh; then look at the bottoms at the references...then go to them. Each source leads to another one. Edit by Engl1sh: You may also try Vietcong (North Vietnamese guerrilla warfare soldiers). These soldiers were hidden among South Vietnamese people and were there to topple the S. Vietnamese government. If you find information on the government in the South, you should be able to find government and politics from the North.

Were the us tactics in US successful in Vietnam?
Very successful; find em and kill em (search and destroy). But since that was going to go on indefinitely (read forever), the US had to end it. It was going to go on forever, because there was no way to stop the flow of men/material from coming down the Ho Chi Minh Trail (without widening the war into Laos/Cambodia). Remember! 1. No nukes 2. No invasions (of the north) 3. No widening of the war Result: quit the war
