Detailed explanation-1: -Initially the United States had little interest in Vietnam and was equivocal about supporting France, but in 1950, due to an intensification of the Cold War and a fear that communism would prevail in Vietnam, the U.S. began providing financial and military support to French forces.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Vietnam War was a long, costly and divisive conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -The United States provided financial support to France’s fight against Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh from the 1940s until direct U.S. involvement. While Americans were girding to fight the Civil War in 1860, the French were beginning a century-long imperial involvement in Indochina.
