From the perspective of the United States, the Vietnam War was not considered a defensive war. The U.S. intervened in Vietnam to support the South Vietnamese government and prevent the spread of communism. The U.S. saw its involvement as part of a broader strategy to contain communism during the Cold War. However, from the perspective of North Vietnam, the war was seen as a defensive struggle against imperialism and for national liberation.
