The US was first active in French Indochina during World War II (in the Pacific from 1941 to 1945). The French lost their war to keep Vietnam in 1954, and the country was divided between northern and southern factions. The US became increasing involved with the southern half (South Vietnam) during the Cold War, during which the North followed mainland China into Communism and then became a client state of the Soviet Union.
The U.S. sent funding and military support to French forces in Vietnam starting in 1950. By 1961 the US had military advisors stationed in Vietnam. The US did not become fully involved as a military force until 1965. The French fought for roughly 11 years prior to that. There is also the point that there have been military actions between North and South Vietnam hundreds of years before the French became involved.144 days????
The war was a stalemate before the United States became involved. After the United States became involved, the balance tipped to the Allied powers.
The UN, it's a long list.

When Nixon ordered "military trainers" to Vietnam, the U.S. then started to become actively involved in Vietnam combat.
Both the Korean and the Vietnam Wars were fought because of the Domino Theory. It was thought that if one country became communist, nearby nations would fall under that ideology too.
