 * The war in Vietnam was all about polotics. North vietnam was communist because it had the support of the USSR and South vietnam was capitalist because they had the support of the united states. America supported south vietnam is an attempt to influence capitalism on the vietnamese people. The war caused tens of thousands of deaths for the Americans and over a million for the vietnamese.
