After the French left Vietnam in 1954, the country was divided into North Vietnam, which was communist, and South Vietnam, which was not. The United States and its allies tried to stop the spread of communism in Vietnam because they were afraid that it would spread to other countries in the region.
Ultimately, North Vietnam won the war and reunified Vietnam under communist rule. North Vietnam had a communist government, led by Ho Chi Minh.
The conflict between North Vietnam and the United States escalated when North Vietnamese forces invaded South Vietnam in an attempt to reunify the country under communism. This led to a long and bloody war known as the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955 to 1975.
