How would the Vietnam War change without the intervention of the US?
With the French withdrawal from Vietnam in 1954, it is unlikely that the newly sponsored government of the Republic of (South) Vietnam would have survived more than a few months against the well organized and experienced Viet Minh that was led by Ho Chi Minh.

What were the casues of the Vietnam war?
When the French left Vietnam, the country was divided in to two parts, north Vietnam which was under communist control, and south Vietnam that was officially democratic, but was actually in practice a totalitarian state. The Norht Vietnamese beleived that the south was a colony of foreign powers and wanted to unite Vietnam into one country, under communist rule. South Vietnam and the United States wanted to prevent the communists from taking over south Vietnam. The war was started by south vietnamese rebels who were opposed to the corruption of the south vietnamese regime. North Vietnam supported these rebels who were commonly known as the Viet Cong. The United States supported South Vietnam in spite of its corrupt government in the belief that it was better to have a corrupt government in south Vietnam than a communist government.

Why did the Vietnam and the United States go in to war?
There was no "Vietnam" during the Vietnam War. Communist NORTH Vietnam was attacking non-communist SOUTH Vietnam, and the US was trying to drive the communists out of South Vietnam...trying to stop communist aggression. It's called the Vietnam War because it's a lot easier to say, and less confusing...than to say "South Vietnam War" or "North Vietnam War", so some people go so far as to say the war in Southeast Asia instead.

Is Vietnam stronger than Mongolia and China?
No. Vietnam is a populous country of over 100,000 million people. However, China has a population of 1.3 billion people, including an army which is over ten times the size of Vietnam's. (During the Vietnam War, much of its supply and support came from China.) Mongolia is a sparsely populated country situated between China and Russia and, therefore, is a rather inconsequential part of this question.
