There was no "Vietnam Civil War." A civil war is a war in which ONE country is fighting against itself. N & S Vietnam were TWO separate countries from the very beginning (in 1954). They only became ONE country (one nation) when the North won the war in April of 1975. The normal starting date for the war, chosen by most historians, is the year 1961. Today, in the 21st century, if Vietnam fought amongst itself, it would be a civil war; as it is ONE nation.

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.
