Basically, the Vietnamese sides, north and south, each had allies and supporters. These allies joined with the troops in Vietnam. The US was on the side of the south. They lost.
?........the Vietnam war was a war between north and south Vietnam and America. America was trying to defend south Vietnam from the north invading and controling their territory. so America was on the side with south Vietnam
North Vietnam's communist government wanted to unify all of Vietnam under their control. The plan was to encourage the general population of South Vietnam that a unified Vietnam would be better than their democracy. North Vietnamese soldiers were taught that they were fighting to remove 'foreign aggressors' from Vietnamese soil to help win back the south.
Vietnam reunited in 1976 after the end of the Vietnam war, South Vietnam (democratic side) losing to North Vietnam (communist side).
Vietnam war casualties were approximately as follows : - USA : 58,209 KIA (killed in action) - North Vietnam Army + NLF (communists fighting in South Vietnam, often called Viet Cong) : 800'000 KIA (+300'000 MIA : missing in action) - Vietnamese civillians : from 900'000 to 4'000'000 killed - South Vietnam Army : 250'000 KIA + casualties from allied countries, like Australia or South Korea.
Yes they were fighting about slavery. The north side of the U.S. was fighting against slavery and south was fighting to keep slavery. Boo slavery!
South Vietnam are the non-communist side of Vietnam, which supported by the US vastly on war supplies, troops, and other thing to fights against the North Vietnam (the communist side).
The North had a larger fighting force than the South.
North Vietnam = Ho Chi Minh South Vietnam = Ngo Dinh Diem
The North was fighting to preserve the union while the South was fighting because they wanted out of the union, but not necessarily to become individual states.
Ho Chi Minh city is in the South
in vietnam many people died but it was the south with the US on their side against the north with Russia and durring that time north vietnam with russia on their side were able to advance and take controll of the south untill the US came and supported the south which brought it to the border that they have now which is divided in half. but overall the south was good north bad and the north was way stronger because we had to retreat back to the US because the north was too powerful.
