The main reasons for starting a War in Vietnam was simply because communism was spreading and countries such as America didn't want this to happen. North Vietnam was already communist and the Americans feared that over time it would spread into the south and other places such as Laos and Korea. This is known as the Domino Theory. This basically meant that if one country feel into communism, then the surrounding countries would eventually fall also. The Americans and Australians fought against the North Vietnamese troops along side the South Vietnamese troops.
