North Vietnam verses South Vietnam. Which is one of the reasons people thought it was a civil war and the US should stay out of it.

But that idea is incorrect: A civil war is fought by ONE nation against itself. Just because the word "Vietnam" or "Vietnamese" was in the sentence (North & South Vietnam) does not mean it was one nation.

Vietnam was TWO nations; and the North was attacking the South, which was another nation (country), which disqualifies it as a civil war.
