Best Answer

The Vietnam War officially started in 1959 and ended in 1975, during this time period the United States of America and South Vietnam fought against communist North Vietnam to help prevent the spread of communism.

However, there was conflict in Vietnam years before that involving France, Japan, and China. some people believe those conflicts were the cause of the Vietnam war.

Long story short it was a controversial war and people still get upset about it. different people have different ideas about why it started.

Vietnam had a turbulent history even before the war.
