The Vietnam War was primarily fueled by the struggle between communist North Vietnam, supported by the Soviet Union and China, and non-communist South Vietnam, backed by the United States and other anti-communist allies. The U.S. aimed to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia as part of its broader Cold War policy of containment. The conflict escalated due to fears that a communist takeover in Vietnam would trigger similar movements in neighboring countries, a theory known as the "Domino Effect." Ultimately, the war became a deeply controversial and costly conflict for the U.S. and Vietnam.
