- It created two new states: South Vietnam (Saigon was its capital) and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (communist regime in the north lead by Ho Chi Minh).
The Vietnam war

- The United States send arms and consultants to Saigon.
- Kennedy and Johnson send more troops until it turned into a cruel war.

- In the American society, there was a rejection of the war.
