Abstract

At the end of the Korean War, marking the American intervention in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Washington made clear that it did not accept a unified Vietnam under communist rule, would rather interfere openly than see it, it views the Hanoi government as a natural extension of Soviet and Chinese powers in Southeast Asia. The American administration believed that the fall of South Vietnam would occur, it may have a major impact in Vietnam through which neighboring countries can; Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Thailand are all facing the power of the communist parties. At the same time, the South Vietnamese government was rejecting American directives regarding internal reform of the country. In March 1956, the United States of America sent its first ground forces to the Republic of Vietnam, it launched an attack against the National Liberation Front in November. The battle became fierce and widespread, as a result, many actors tried to limit the military escalation through diplomatic means, perhaps the most prominent among them were the Hungarian mediation efforts. However, this mediation was not successful, especially after the attempt of the Soviet Union and its allies in the Warsaw Pact to distance Hanoi from Beijing, rejected the establishment of a strong South Vietnam, supported by the United States of America on the Beijing border, in addition, the Soviets provided aid to North Vietnam, instead of strengthening Hanoi's direction towards peace, these contradictory policies carried the North Vietnamese into a long war.
