Vietnam was part of the cold war.
The French Indochina War most likely led to the (so called) American Vietnam War. Because the French war divided up the country into TWO nations; North & South Vietnams. When the communist led North Vietnam attempted to take over (conquer) South Vietnam... this led to US involvment.

Nixon led, but Ford finished it.
The Vietnam War led to President Johnson's (Dem) decision not to run for re-election, which enabled Richard Nixon (Rep) to win the next 2 elections. It led to a distrust of American political figures that continues today, and the war led to the elimination of the draft and the implementation of the all-volunteer military.
At the time of the Vietnam War, North Vietnam was led by Ho Chi Minh, who was the founder of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. South Vietnam was led by President Ngo Dinh Diem until 1963 when he was overthrown and later by Nguyen Van Thieu.
Japan's occupation during WW2.

The cold war led to the Vietnam War; the outcome was also because of the cold war. Another words, had there NOT BEEN a cold war (which was created by the atomic bomb); the Vietnam War would have been fought normally/traditionally...with everything the US had (presuming nukes DID NOT exist) and the North would've been invaded...as in ALL US WARS previously.
