It was one of the most destructive wars of all time, and was waged during the Cold War.
Ever since the United States’ foolish decision to go to involve itself in the Vietnam War, this war has been analyzed in order to discover what mistakes were made and how to avoid a recurrence.
When the U.S. went to war in against North Vietnam, the Vietnam War was difficult and divisive. It is one of the most expensive wars in U.S. history. The origins of this dispute date back to the late 1800s when France sought to gain control of Southeast Asia by colonizing and taking advantage of its natural resources.

How did the war started?
The short answer is that the US went to war with/in Vietnam ostensibly to halt the spread of communism. The US President believed that if North Vietnam spread communism to South Vietnam, it would inevitably spread to other neighboring nations, then to the rest of the world and eventually to the United States.
No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.
