Who helped Vietnam get their independence?
Which independence?
China ruled Vietnam for centuries and in 938 CE, a Vietnamese leader named Ngô Quyá»n defeated Chinese forces at the Bạch Äằng River - winning independence.
In the mid-to-late 1800s, France won a series of military victories which saw them take control of Vietnam as a colony of France.
Under Ho Chi Minh, the irregular forces of the Viet Minh waged war on the French and the country was divided in the 1950s, with the North becoming independent under Ho Chi Minh and the South under the restored Vietnamese emperor Bảo Äại (who have been termed "King of Annam" under the French). The North was consistently skirmishing with the forces of the South.
There was a coup in the south, which eventually led to the South being declared a Republic. The American government of the time was worried about Communist expansion and the possibility that communisim would spread throughout the region,and wangled an invitation to send military advisers to the South.
The coup was counter to agreements to hold nationwide elections, and a series of military regimes followed.... all assisted to one degree or another by covert American involvement. This developed into the Vietnam War, and was a long and bloody affair.
Ho Chi Minh died in 1969 and was succeeded by Phạm Văn Äồng, who led the country after it was re-unified after the war. But the driving force all throguhout the wart had been Ho Chi Minh, and he must get the credit for the independence which followed.

How did the US get in the war with Vietnam?
Lots of possibilities here. My favorites, in no particular order: 1) politicians could not appear to be as "soft on Communism" by "losing" Vietnam; 2) the doctrine of containment required us to become involved; 3) it was believed that if Vietnam "fell," the rest of southeast Asia would follow.
How many people in Vietnam can read?
It's not possible to count the words in any language, because there is no universal definition of what a word is. Vietnamese is particularly problematic, because it is written in syllable form, based on Chinese, and there is controversy as to whether compound syllables should be written as (and considered) single words.
But most estimates place the number between 40,000 and 160,000 words (which is the same range for almost all other languages).
Note: English is an exception. It has the largest number of words of any language in the world, estimated at 170,000 to 250,000 words. No language has more words than English.

The Saigon River (Vietnamese: Sông Sài Gòn) is a river located in southern Vietnam that rises near Phum Daung in southeastern Cambodia, flows south and south-southeast for about 140 miles (225 km) and empties into the Nha Be River, which in its turn empties into the South China Sea some 20 km north-east of the Mekong Delta.
The Saigon River is joined 18 miles (29 km) northeast of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly named Saigon) by the Dong Nai River, and just above Ho Chi Minh City it is joined by the Ben Cat River. Saigon River is important to Ho Chi Minh City as it is the main water supply as well as the host of Saigon Port, which a total cargo volume load/outloaded of more than 35 million metric tons in 2006. The river is located in Saigon but it also flows through Mekong but the name changes.
