After the French left Vietnam in 1954, the country was divided into two regions: North Vietnam, which was communist, and South Vietnam, which was non-communist. The United States and its allies were trying to stop the spread of communism in Vietnam. Ultimately, North Vietnam won the war and unified the country under a communist government. The conflict between North Vietnam and the United States escalated when North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam, leading to the Vietnam War.
