US Vietnam War

The Vietnam War (1955-1975) was a conflict between communist North Vietnam, supported by allies like the Soviet Union and China, and South Vietnam, backed by the United States and other anti-communist countries. It aimed to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. The U.S. intervened heavily, sending troops and resources, but the war became prolonged and controversial, causing widespread protest. Ultimately, North Vietnam won, unifying the country under communism in 1975. The war deeply affected Vietnam and the U.S., leading to significant political, social, and cultural changes.
