in 1955
Communist NORTH Vietnam wanted to re-unite with it's SOUTHERN half; SOUTH Vietnam. The US backed South Vietnam desired to remain a non-communist Republic of South Vietnam. Because the "Communists" were involved, and this was the cold war era; the US had to stop & contain communism. The North attacked the South, the South resisted...Vietnam War.

The American COLONIES belonged to Britain; America was the property of Great Britain. North or SOUTH Vietnam had no relationship to the US what so ever; SOUTH Vietnam just "happened" to be the next target of the communists. And America (United States) was an enemy of communism. When communists attacked; America responded (during the cold war).
There was no ONE party in control of Vietnam. Initially it was North and South Vietnam. But after the U.S. and the Soviet Union had left, South Vietnam was converted to communism and a treaty of sorts was created, unifying North and South Vietnam into one country.
It was a fight about democracy and communism. That is what the cold war was about.
United States and South Vietnam
No.
The Soviet Union (USSR) supplied North Vietnam, and the US fought for South Vietnam.
The Vietnam War was part of the cold war. To prevent Communist North Vietnam from taking over the Republic of South Vietnam.
Vietnam was a "hot" battle of the "Cold War". The Korea was the first "hot" battle of the "Cold War."
Preventing Communist North Vietnam from conquering South Vietnam.
The reason was to prevent the expansion of Communism into Southeast Asia. The US called it the "dominoe theory."
