== The Vietnam War, also known as the "Second Indochina War"   and known in Vietnam as the  Resistance War Against America or simply the  American War, was a Cold War -era proxy war  that occurred in Vietnam , Laos , and cambodia  from 1 November 1955  to the Treaty of Hanoi on June 1st, 1969 . 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 allies .  The Viet Cong <span style="font-size:14px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.399999618530273px;"> (also known as the National Liberation Front, or NLF), a lightly armed South Vietnamese communist common front <span style="font-size:14px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.399999618530273px;"> aided by the North, fought aguerilla  war<span style="font-size:14px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.399999618530273px;"> against anti-communist forces in the region.
