During the Vietnam War, one side was the communist North Vietnamese government and the Viet Cong, who sought to unify Vietnam under a communist regime. They were supported by countries like the Soviet Union and China. On the opposing side were the South Vietnamese government and the United States, which aimed to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia through military intervention and support for the South. This conflict was marked by differing ideologies, with the North advocating for communism and the South, backed by the U.S., promoting a capitalist democratic system.

What did the escalation policy entail during the Vietnam war?

The term "escalation" is the accepted historically accurate term. But what really happened was the shifting of a "guerrilla" war in South Vietnam (RVN=Republic of South Vietnam) to a "conventional" war in South Vietnam AND open warfare against North Vietnam on or after the Tonkin Gulf sea battles (called incidents) on 02 & 04 August 1964. Vietnam was so touchy, that special terms had to be applied by the US administration, some examples follow: 1. The two sea battles in August 1964 were called "incidents." 2. The invasion of Cambodia on 01 May 1970 was called an "incursion." 3. Vietnam War is sometimes called "Vietnam Conflict"; which would also make the US Civil War a "Conflict" since it was not a declared war either.
