- Ho Chi Minh rose to power as head of the Communist North Vietnamese government and overthrew the French who had colonized Vietnam. The aim of the North was to unify the country under communism. The U.S. provided funding, weapons, and training to South Vietnam in order to keep South Vietnam separate and anti-communist. When tensions escalated, the U.S. expanded its efforts and sent in ground troops, creating an all out war.
- Vietnam is located south of China and east of Laos and Cambodia. Most of the fighting occurred in Vietnam itself, but there was also fighting in Laos and Cambodia.

- The U.S. Dept. of Defense states the beginning of the Vietnam War was Nov. 1, 1955 when the U.S. ramped up support for South Vietnam after the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu. However, like much of the war, its beginning is complicated. The last U.S. troops were pulled out of Vietnam during the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975.
