Vietnam

During the war in Vietnam, like the Korean, Vietnam was divided into two different sides. The north and the south. It was divided by, again like Korea, the 17th parallel. In the north was the Communist and Nationalist Ho Chi Mihn. In the south, Ngo Dinh Diem, a Vietnamese man that the US tried to mold into a leader that could win the hearts of both the north and the south people. Well, despite the grooming from the US, all the power of being a leader went straight to the head of Diem. Mihn gained more and more power and become a great threat. The US was supporting the south, the non-communist side, as always, and both the Soviets and China were supporting the communist side as both of those countries were Communist at the time. During this time, tension was growing between China and the USSR and things were getting worse to the point that the USSR pulled back a little on their support of North Vietnam. Allies and countries that are in it together turning on each other? What was the cold war doing to the world?
