Why Did This War Happen and How Did It Help The Country Now

The Vietnam War happened because Southern Vietnam did not want to be under Communist rule. The United States also got involved because they were allies with South Vietnam. They also were involved because they wanted the spread of Democratic beliefs. North Vietnam was in this war to stop the South Vietnam's threats against the Communist government. Yet with the help of Russia and China the North was well under way to beat the South. Then the U.S. came in and began to help. Without them going, there would have been no war and the South would be a whole lot different now. This war shaped that whole country into what it is now.
