Vietnam War. The Vietnam War (Vietnamese: Chiáº¿n tranh Viá»t Nam), also known as the Second Indochina War, and known in Vietnam as Resistance War Against America (Vietnamese: KhÃ¡ng chiáº¿n chá»ng Má»¹) or simply the American War, was a war that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975.
General Nguyá»n VÄn Thiá»u led the country from 1967 until 1975. The Vietnam War began in 1959 with an uprising by Viet Cong forces supplied by North Vietnam. Fighting climaxed during the Tet Offensive of 1968, when there were over 1.5 million South Vietnamese soldiers and 500,000 U.S. soldiers in South Vietnam.Despite a peace treaty concluded in January 1973, fighting continued until the North Vietnamese army overran Saigon on 30 April 1975.t received international recognition in 1949 as the  State of Vietnam  (1949â55), and later as the Republic of Vietnam (1955â75). Its capital was Saigon. The term South Vietnam became common usage in 1954, when the Geneva Conference partitioned Vietnam into communist and non-communist parts.
