The Vietnam War began soon after World War 2 .At first, in 1946 the war was between the Vietnamese and the French.
But the Vietnamese people wanted the French to leave so they could have their own government. The Vietnamese
fought hard, and slowly they won more and more land. By 1953, the French Army was in trouble . They were not winning
the war. French soldiers were dying, and the war was costing a lot of money.So,in 1954 the French Army stopped fighting
and left Vietnam. That was the end of the first part of the Vietnam War.
