Unless governments don't know what they're doing; CIVIL WARS are not declared wars. Simply because a nation "normally" doesn't declare war upon themselves.
To do so, would indicate that the warring parties RECOGNIZE each others governments; therefore, there's no war, since that's normally the purpose of the civil war to begin with...becoming a separate nation.

Means the same thing. Officially the American Civil War was not a war according to those that believe only "a declared war" is a real war. Since the US Civil War was not a "declared war", its officially designated as the "War of the Rebellion" and/or "the war between the states." By this definition, no wars have been fought since WWII; America's last declared war. And don't forget, the US Civil War wasn't a war either! (According to those "not a declared war" people). To answer your question, the Vietnam War has always been called both, even during the 1960s.
