The Vietnam war erupted when North Vietnam sought to intervene in south Vietnam following a series of rebellion against the south Vietnamese dictatorial leadership. The USA set in to protect the southern capitalist regime. The USA involvement was certainly wrong because they entered an unpopular side, whom citizens were against. The USA withdrawal led to the collapse of South Vietnam.
