Initially, the United States provided military instructors (called advisers) to improve the ability of South Vietnam forces to protect the country from North Vietnamese communist incursion. (61-64)
As the war grew, US troops were needed to protect the American advisers. This build-up led to large-unit deployments from the Army and Marines as well as support from the Navy and Air Force. At this point, the war transitioned from a South Vietnamese conflict to the majority of the fighting taken over by U.S. forces.
(65-69)
With strong public outcry in the U.S. against the war, the American objective of protecting South Vietnam from Vietnamese incursion, the final phase, called "Vietnamization" again focused on improving South Vietnamese forces and withdrawing U.S. troops. (70-73)
U.S. forces left South Vietnam by the spring of 1973, and the south was left to defend itself from the north without American forces. Two years later, in April 1975, North Vietnamese forces occupied South Vietnam's Presidential Palace in Saigon, thus ending that government and unifying Vietnam into a single country.
1. Phase one (1955-1964)-Guerrilla war in South Vietnam.
2. Phase two (1964-1975)-Conventional war in South Vietnam and war against North Vietnam.
Note: Although US Combat Regular Troops were not deployed in large numbers until 1965; the direct aerial bombing of North Vietnam by US jet aircraft (USN F8 Crusaders and A4 Skyhawks) commenced in August 1964. Prior to 1964 NORTH VIETNAM was not officially & openly bombed.

Most of the hippies and liberals did not support the Vietnam. that's why we pulled out of Vietnam during the war. we did not pull out in world war one and world war 2 because america was geared in for the war, but Vietnam, not all of america was in for it.
The US phase of the The Vietnam War, (also known as the Second Indochina War) lasted from 1963 to 1975. (It actually started in 1959 but the US was not involved then). Not sure about 1963, however the Vietnam War covered 1961-1975, hope this helped.
The Vietnam War ended in 1975, when North and South Vietnam become one country, Vietnam.
