why the vietnam war has began?
what actually happend between then and usa?
Vietnam war was the result of many factors that had been in play since second world war...Vietnam was a French Colony (ie under French colonial rule)...and after the war got over...the Vietnamese demanded their freedom, which French refused to acceed to...that lead to Communist China influencing and helping the natives in their fight against the colonial rule.
US alarmed at the grwing influence of communist China in that region (termed as Indo-China) helped French by installing a puppet govt that was overthrown by the natives and subsequenytly this lead to US's deep (and often cited as regrettable) involvement in Vietnam...which ultimately proved to be the then US president Lyndon B Johnson's waterloo.
Also, both sides had to suffer heavy casualties esp. in incidents like My Lai massacre.

by the way, there was never a "war" declaration. onfficially, Vietnam was never classified as a "war". its classified as a "military operation". unfortunately - the body count suggests otherwise.

For an excellent view of the events surrounding the escalation of the Vietnam 'police action', have a look at this documentary on the life of Robert McNamara, who was the US secretary of defense for most of the Vietnam conflict. (This documentary really cleared up a bunch of questions about Vietnam for me, and was absolutely spellbinding to watch).
what were some of the reasons that north and south vietnam disagreed?
what was at stake for these parties?

There was a Power Change in the North that has yet to be covered I take it. them Asians [vietnam ] may never tell any one!.
Or as is popular today {change the balance of power } what ever it was called in the sixties ?: the north suffered heavy calusuties to an FIGHT !; most of there senior officers and a good part of the army was killed off!

I believe the advisers!; where there to!, make a determination as to , "IF" !, the U.S. of A. and the allies would fight a war there.
