A definition or brief description of Vietnam War.

The Vietnam War was a successful, two-part effort by the Communist Party of Vietnam, led by Ho Chi Minh, first to expel colonial France (1946-54), and then to overthrow the government of South Vietnam (1958-75) and take control of the whole country, in the face of military intervention by the United States (1964-72).
