Why did the french get involve in the war?
The French in VietnamThe French colonized Vietnam (and also Laos and Cambodia) from about 1860 onwards. The process of colonization was completed in the 1880s. In WW2 the Japanese seized control of the area (in 1940-41) and ruled it with the active collaboration of the pro-Vichy French there. In Vietnam an effective resistance movement (the future Vietminh) formed round Ho Chi Minh. With some help from the U.S., mainly training by experts in guerrilla warfare, it almost succeeded in gaining control of the whole of Vietnam by the end of WW2.In 1946 the French army returned, and the struggle continued. However, by 1954 the French were defeated and had to withdraw.So the French were essentially not involved in the Vietnam War as seen from the US viewpoint.

Why did the US not get involved in the Vietnam situation at first to help the French but decided to fight later?
Pres. Eisenhower, former clerk of Gen. MacAuther who said "the U.S. should not get involved in a land war in Asia." Ike was advised by some of the joint chiefs to enter the war along with the French in order to secure Camron Bay that was later (after the Nam war) used by Russia as a sub base. Jobs! Ike told them "we do not need Camron Bay." Kennedy said Nam was a civil war, not U.S. biz ;then was assassinated. Johnson took over and expanded the U.S. roll in the Asian theater.AnswerThe U.S. was involved from way back. In WWII, the U.S. promised a young nationalist leader that in return for his help against the Japanese, they would help Vietnam achieve independence from French colonialism after the war was over. That promise was broken, and the French re-occupied Indochina. The war for Independence started, and although it was French troops that bore the brunt of the fighting against what was perceived to be communism, most of the costs for the French forces were paid by the U.S. gov't. It was only after the great French defeat in 1954 when the French said they needed more money to continue, did the U.S. cut off their funds. We fought over the way the government in Vietnam was being run. They had communism which means if someone needed something in Vietnam like food or money, it was given to them.
