It was said to originate in Vietnam around the Mid-1950s after the defeat of the French.
Hard to say after 1945, the French suppose to rule Vietnam. But the French is too weak after World War 2 so the British India had to support the French thus Great Britain ruled Vietnam for a year. The Viet Minh lead by Ho Chi Minh also fight for the control of the country. The Japanese surrendered in 1945 but their official still held the French as P.O.W. and taught the Viet Minh how to fight until they are ordered to go back. So I would say the Allies ruled Vietnam while constantly under attack by the Vietnamese Communist Party.
Eisenhower had US personnel present in South Vietnam to help the transition of French withdrawal in 1954; when they were gone, he promptly dispatched US troops to bolster South Vietnamese defenses in 1955.
