  8. The Vietnam War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh Việt Nam), also known as the Second Indochina War,[31] was a Cold War-era proxy war that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from December 1956[A 1] to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. This war followed the First Indochina War and was fought between North Vietnam—supported by the Soviet Union, China and other communist allies—and the government of South Vietnam—supported by the United States and other anti-communist countries.[
    The U.S. government viewed American involvement in the war as a way to prevent a Communist takeover of South Vietnam.

  13. Myths play a central role in the historiography of the Vietnam War, and so to the culture of the United States. Much like the general historiography of the war, discussion of myth has focused on US experiences; but, changing myths of war have also played a role in South Vietnamese, Vietnamese and Australian historiography.
