The north conquered the south. It was over.
The fear of being invaded was not a justification for the increase in US involvement in Vietnam. The US withdrew from Vietnam in 1975.
The US was involved with negotiations during the division of the country in 1954. US troops began to arrive in 1955. All involvement ceased after April/May (Mayaquez incident) 1975.
Radical protestors during the Vietnam era often burned their draft cards. American involvement in Vietnam began in 1955, and the war ended in 1975 during the presidency of Gerald Ford.
The American experience in Vietnam ended in 1975 with the fall of Saigon, leading to the collapse of South Vietnam and the end of the American war effort.
The biggest battles were fought from 1962 to 1975. Smaller battles occurred prior to '62.

The official years of the Vietnam War with significant U.S. involvement are generally considered to be from 1965 to 1973. American combat troops were deployed in 1965, and the U.S. gradually escalated its military presence until the withdrawal began in 1973. Although the conflict itself began in the late 1950s and continued until 1975, the peak of American involvement was during this period.
Both nations were created in 1954/55. North defeated the South on 30 April '75; 1975 one nation/Vietnam.

The U.S. surrendered in the Vietnam War with the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, was captured by North Vietnamese forces, marking the end of the conflict and leading to the reunification of Vietnam under communist control. This event effectively concluded the U.S. military involvement in Vietnam.
Vietnam won the French war. North Vietnam won the American Vietnam War. There was no such country named "Vietnam" during the American Vietnam War 1955-1975. There were two nations: North VN & South VN.
