The French Indochina War 1946-1954 (aka 1st Indochina War).
For a time after WWII and to the end of the 50's, France occupied and controlled Vietnam. Because of the Michellin rubber tree plantations and other assets, France had an economic interest in controling (ruling) Vietnam.
After WW2 France reoccupied Vietnam which had been largely liberated from Japanese rule by the Viet Minh, led by Ho Chi Minh. After the defeat of the French in 1954 the U.S. became increasingly interested in Vietnam and, in the longer term, involved.
The Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) was established on July 1, 1955. It was created to serve as the military force of South Vietnam, following the end of French colonial rule and the division of Vietnam into North and South. The ARVN played a significant role in the Vietnam War, fighting against the communist forces of North Vietnam and the Viet Cong.
The Vietnam War ended on April 30th, 1975.
It ended in 1889

The Battle of Dien Bien Phu, fought between March and May 1954, marked the end of French colonial rule in Vietnam. The Viet Minh, led by General Vo Nguyen Giap, decisively defeated French forces, leading to the Geneva Accords, which resulted in the division of Vietnam into North and South. This battle significantly shifted the balance of power in the region and paved the way for the later conflict involving the United States.

Words that end in -tion usually come from Latin, while words that end in -sion usually come from Latin or French. There isn't a strict rule, but -tion is more common and originates from Latin verbs ending in -tio, while -sion more often comes from Latin or French words ending in -sio or -sion.

The French withdrawal from Indochina in the 1950s culminated in the First Indochina War, which ended with the decisive Battle of Dien Bien Phu in May 1954. Following their defeat, the French negotiated the Geneva Accords, which led to the partition of Vietnam into North and South at the 17th parallel. This marked the end of French colonial rule in Indochina, paving the way for increased American involvement in the region and the eventual escalation of the Vietnam War.
