The Vietnam War was considered a "battlefield of the Cold War" because it was a proxy war between the United States (backed by Western allies) and the Soviet Union and China (backing North Vietnam). It was seen as a battle between capitalism and communism, with each side trying to expand their influence and ideology. The involvement of major world powers and their support for opposing sides made Vietnam a key battleground in the larger ideological conflict of the Cold War.
