Vietnam wasn't fighting anybody in 1964 because there was no country named Vietnam.

There were two nations, one called North Vietnam and another called South Vietnam. Just like the states North Carolina and South Carolina or North Dakota and South Dakota in America...FOUR separate states!

In 1964 North Vietnam became engaged in war with America; after the Tonkin Gulf naval battle(s) in August 1964.

Who did the Vietcong fight fight for in the Vietnam War?

The Viet Cong (VC) were Communist sympathizers living in SOUTH Vietnam. Very organized, wearing what-ever uniforms and using what-ever weapons they could get their hands on; and fighting primarily as organized guerillas against the Government of South Vietnam. The VC were pretty well destroyed as a fighting force during the TET offensive of 1968; and the war fairly well shifted to the NVA (North Vietnamese Army), after 1968.
