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.
The U.S. war in Vietnam essentially began on August 4, 1964 when North Vietnam made an unprovoked torpedo boat attack upon two Navy ships, the destroyers USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy, while they were steaming peacefully on the high seas in the Gulf of Tonkin.
