Is the war in indochina and the war in vietnam the same thing?
Yes and No. There were two Indochinese Wars and the Second Indochinese War corresponds to what is termed the Vietnam War in the United States and the American War in Vietnam. The First Indochinese War was a war primarily between the Viet Minh (the Vietnamese Communists who were the antecedents of the current Vietnamese government) and the French Colonial Administration.
The cold war was a "stand-off" between the two communist superpowers; with the exceptions of the "hot" battles of Korea & Vietnam. With the collapse of the Soviets in 1990 the US was able to conduct Operation Desert Storm in Jan-Feb 1991. Had the Soviet Union (had the cold war continued) been intact, Desert Storm would NOT have been conducted.

What is the actual world crisis?
In my opinion, the actual world crisis is the crisis of immorality, selfishness and wanton greed.
These crises arise from the degradation of the ethical consciousness of decent individuals resulting in the creation of a scourge of greedy egocentric megalomaniacs.
These megalomaniacs find that here in the real world, there is greater pleasure in the pursuit of self-gratification as opposed to the practice of piety and righteousness based upon some fictional notion of a heavenly afterlife.
I have no idea what this is but personally I think that the world crisis is energy running out because then you won`t be able to do things such as travel by train to meet someone, or even talk to someone on the phone.
