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.
By the end of 1946, the Vietminh and the Ho Chi Minh government had been forced out of the cities. The first Vietnam war had started, and would kill over one million Vietnamese before it ended. The French were sure they would score a quick victory. They were using modern weapons, provided for free by the US.
