The war begun shortly after Vietnam independence, in the southern supposedly democratic state, after rebellion broke there against her tyrannical government. Vietnam had been divided into North and south, with North being communist.
The north, and the insurgents in the south started a campaign to take over the south, and also signed deals with Communist China and the soviet.
