The Vietnam War was a significant ideological conflict between North Vietnam, representing Communism, and South Vietnam, backed by the United States and anti-Communist forces. The U.S. entered the war primarily out of fear of the spread of Communism, leading to intense jungle warfare that challenged American military tactics. With support from Communist nations like China and the U.S.S.R., North Vietnam sought to unify the country under Communism. Ultimately, North Vietnam's victory in 1975 resulted in the establishment of a Communist state, which continues to exist today.
