The USSR had been training North Vietnamese jet fighter pilots since the late 1950's. North Vietnamese pilot trainees had spent about 2 years in the Soviet Union (Russia) learning how to fly MIGs. During the mid 1960's North Viet pilots began training in Red China. They preferred that, as Red China was closer, just across the border. The NVAF never exceeded about 200 MiG jet fighters at any one given time. The Soviets trained the North Viet MiG-17 and MiG-21 pilots, and supplied the jets. The Red Chinese trained the North Viet MiG-19 pilots, and supplied those jets (J6 versions). Although the NVAF preferred to train in Communist China, they didn't prefer the MiG19 jet; it had two engines and complicated maintenance and flying. North Vietnamese Army (NVA) senior officers were trained in Russia (USSR) and Red China, returned home to North Vietnam and trained their countrymen. Soviet technicians trained SAM (Surface to Air Missiles) crewmen in North Vietnam.

Why did the Vietnam War start and why were there two parts of Vietnam with 2 different governments?

To prevent Communist North Vietnam from taking over the free Republic of South Vietnam. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ First yes there were two governments in Vietnam at the time. North Vietnam was a communist state and South Vietnam was democratic. Our involvement started when the french left Vietnam in the late 1950's. The south vietnamese asked the American government for help to train their soldiers to defend against the vietcong invasion. We sent over advisors and the north vietnamese started attacking the advisors so we sent troops over to help protect the advisors. It wasnt until the mid 1960's that we reached a full involvement in southeast asia. That point the idea was to patrol the jungles and so forth to continue helping to protect the south vietnamese and advisors we had training the ARVN (army of the republic of vietnam). Also another reason for our increased involvement was something called the Gulf of Tonkin resolution. The north vietnamese sank one of our smaller ships (a frigate i believe) so we increased troop strengh.


Did Eisenhower made a commitment to send combat troops to Vietnam during his presidency?

The government of South Vietnam requested military advisors from the United States to help train the South Vietnamese army. Ho Chi Minh was a communist and during the Cold War of the 1950s and 60s, the aim of the US government was containment of communist power and not to let it spread. The Eisenhower administration provided South Vietnam with money and military advisors (not officially called troops) to help stop the threat of a North Vietnamese takeover. The United States also was pledged by treaty (SEATO) to aid the member nations in southeast Asia, if they were attacked by a foreign (communist) power.
