European now living in Vietnam. One thing I learned pretty quickly about the Vietnam war... it was two wars:the French War and the American war.

  Technically it was three, the third Indochina war took place between Vietnam and China

    Don’t forget the 5 years of Japanese occupation sandwiched in there.

      Japanese occupation was before the two wars cited though. It went French colony -> Japanese occupation -> War against the French -> War between North and South (with US siding with te South)

  According to the north it was one war of independence against France, the US and then China.
