VietnamIt was a civil war - North against south. AnswerIt was and it wasn't. It was about the north and south, like America's Civil war, but then in Vietnam the French and then the American's stepped in. What I think though is it was a Civil War until France and America joined in. The reason why the United States helped the French was because they did not want all of Vietnam to become communists. AnswerCIVIL WAR >Definition of CIVIL WAR (merriam webster)

: a war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country

It was NOT a Civil War! It was between two completely different countries and two different Governments.

The French were in Vietnam before WWII, after that war Vietnam was split into two separate countries. French Colonial South and the North. Ho Che Minh wanted to merge back into one country and the South did not want to. The North had China as it's main Allie the South had the USA and a few other countries.

Most Historians like to use 1961 as the starting point for the war. The Vietnam War was NOT a civil war. A civil war is two armies from the same nation fighting itself. North Vietnam & South Vietnam were separate countries. They were never one country called Vietnam until 1975.
