The Vietnam War was primarily sparked by the Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. The U.S. sought to contain the spread of communism, while North Vietnam, supported by the Soviet Union and China, aimed to unify Vietnam under a communist regime. The war resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, massive destruction, and deep divisions within American society. Ultimately, North Vietnam's victory led to the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule.
