South (RVN-Republic of South Vietnam)
It was both a civil war and a surrogate war with China and the USSR supporting North Vietnam and the US, South Korea, Australia, New Zeland, Thailand and the Phillipenes supporting South Vietnam.
America helped out SOUTH Vietnam. NORTH Vietnam was attacking it.
America was defending Vietnam.
The Vietnam government claimed that about 400,000 Vietnamese were killed by America in Vietnam.
Vietnam Veterans of America was created in 1978.
They were concerned because at the time, China was communist so (obviously) they were supporting the north of Vietnam. China could have been worried as America had been such a big force in WWII.
America would lose tremendously in the Middle East by NOT supporting Israel.
The Vietnam War made America stronger.
Yes. Vietnam was a French colony. They lost a Vietnam War and were thrown out of Vietnam before America tried to win a war in Vietnam. America also lost a Vietnam War.
Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation was created in 1980.
No. The French were just leaving. Totally wrong answer. Advisors entered in 1953 and by June of 1955 a total of 740 Advisors were deployed with Vietnamese units. MAAG (Indochina) had a presence in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The CIA operatives and Air America surrogates were in place supporting France and South Vietnam.
