Sonnichsen Special Collections Department University of Texas at El Paso Historical Sketch The Vietnam War (1954 – 1975) was a military conflict between the communist North Vietnamese (Viet Cong) and its allies and the government of South Vietnam and its allies (mainly the United States). The North Vietnamese sought to unify Vietnam under a communist regime, while South Vietnam wanted to retain its government, which was aligned with the West. The war was also a result of the ongoing Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. On July 2, 1976 the North Vietnamese united the country after the South Vietnamese government surrendered on April 30. Millions of soldiers and civilians were killed during the Vietnam War.
