The Korean War was a "clear" invasion of North Korea into South Korea. US/Allied Forces counter-attacked, AND INVADED North Korea; and Red China entered the war against the US/Allies. Korea was a "knock down, drag out" war, fought mostly in a conventional way in rough hilly, mountainous terrain of both North & South Korea. But because Korea is a PENINSULA, it was easily controlled by sea (US Navy) and communist supplies to support the war was limited to the Red Chinese/North Korean border; with which US Firepower easily controlled (it). With the "see saw (back and forth)" fighting going on, and the death of Soviet (Russia) Josept Stalin in 1953, both sides had had enough, and called an "Armistice" at the 38th Parallel; which is still in effect today. The Vietnam War was fought by infiltration by communist North Vietnam, in which, at the beginning, it was difficult to identify the enemy. Which brought to the "accustomed" to traditional warfare US Commanders abit of confusion; since all of our past wars had been relatively easy to ID enemy troops & activites. With the experience of Korea & WWII to back them up, US Commanders set about winning this war too. But this time, Washington wanted NO Communist Superpowers involved in the fighting. NO MORE Red Chinese Troops! So this time, there would be NO invasion of North Vietnam. To make it even more clear to the observing Communist Superpowers, US Aerial bombardment of North Vietnam would be "restricted" in certain areas, to AVOID killing or wounding any Communist Superpower technicians or merchant ship personnel (unloading war material in North Vietnam's harbors). These rules were one thing; but the real problem was the infiltration route(s), which were located in other countries besides Vietnam; like Laos and Cambodia. This meant, that unless the US/Allies brought those two countries into the war, the men & material reaching South Vietnam would NEVER be brought under control...as the Korean Peninsula had been brought under control. We now had a recipe for disaster. So we SECRETLY bombed Cambodia & Laos to rectify the situation. This turned out to be a temporary cure; the "Reds" kept coming. After over a decade of trying to empty the lake with a bucket, we decided to end it. So we left.

Both regions were also caught in the struggle between communism and capitalism, with the North receiving support from communist powers (the Soviet Union and China for Vietnam, and the Soviet Union for North Korea) and the South backed by the United States and its allies.
