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.

The Korean War is sometimes called the Korean Conflict, because the Congress of the USA never declared war. The Vietnam War, sometimes called the Indochina War was another undeclared war. It is sometimes called Indochina War, because it involved fighting in Norh and South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
It was mainly in Vietnam which when the war began was divided into the Republic of Vietnam (known as RVN or South Vietnam) and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (known as DRV or North Vietnam). After the war ended (with defacto victory for North Vietnam) both Vietnam's were re-united. That state is now called the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. During the war fighting also spilled over into neighbouring Laos and Cambodia.
