Spreading ommunistism was not the only reason the North Vietnam leader was fighting for. He wanted Vietnam to be independent from other countries.Even though South Vietnam did not want to be under the control of communism,some thought that it was better to seek their help then the U.S. because the Americans were also killing them. The Americans were confused as to who was the enemy and destroyed everything that was in question. So this made the South vietnamese not want the Americans around. It makes me wonder if the Americans soldiers were able to identify the enemy and protected the North Vietnamese people from the South, they might have been able to build a positive relationship with the U.S and not have gone over to the South.
