Ho Chi Minh, founder of "Communist" Vietnam, originally was not Communist. But to overthrow the French from French Indochina (Now Vietnam); Minh needed military support. First going to the USA, America turned down this offer, since America and France were close allies. Minh, naturally, went to the second world superpower, The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The USSR, helping spread anti-capitalist, made Ho Chi Minh swear allegiance to the USSR and to Communism in support for military support.

So in short, the only reason why Vietnam is Communist today is because Ho Chi Minh needed help freeing Vietnam from the French and the USSR offered its support in exchange for Vietnam becoming a Communist State.
