The Vietnam War was a conflict between communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam that began in 1955. However, the war took on a greater worldwide significance within the backdrop of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union. The United States involvement began as only sending military advisors, but continued to increase until they sent combat troops in 1965, and did not end until the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973. However, the war did not officially end until the fall of Saigon in 1975. The involvement of the United States was very controversial within the country, and led to a large anti-war movement. In this lesson, students will learn about the causes, events, and impact of the Vietnam War within the United States and around the world.
