-While not the first war centered in Vietnam and not the last either. The Vietnam War Colloquially refers to the Second Indochina War that took place between 1955 and 1975. In Vietnam it is commonly known as Kháng chiến chống Mỹ ( lit. 'Resistance War against America').
+The Vietnam War was a major Cold War conflict fought in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from the mid-1950s to 1975. It grew out of the end of French colonial rule in Indochina, the division of Vietnam after the 1954 Geneva settlement, and the struggle between the communist government in [[North Vietnam]] and the anti-communist government in [[South Vietnam]].
