Means the same thing. Officially the American Civil War was not a war according to those that believe only "a declared war" is a real war. Since the US Civil War was not a "declared war", its officially designated as the "War of the Rebellion" and/or "the war between the states." By this definition, no wars have been fought since WWII; America's last declared war. And don't forget, the US Civil War wasn't a war either! (According to those "not a declared war" people). To answer your question, the Vietnam War has always been called both, even during the 1960s.
The US Civil War and Vietnam War were undeclared wars. WWII was America's last declared war.
The U.S. never officially declared war. About the closest thing you can point to is the "Gulf of Tonkin Resolution" passed in August 1964, which gave President Johnson free reign to escalate the war in Vietnam. U.S. military advisors had been training & advising the South Vietnamese Army since 1955.Answerthe united states never declared war on north Vietnam
