The political situation in Vietnam during the 1950's was almost the same as the situation in Korea. The reason for this statement is that in both countries there were two parts, North and South, being politically opposed, and being supported by the USSR and the US. The North, in both Vietnam and Korea were with communist ideologies, and both of them were supported by the USSR. The South, in both Vietnam and Korea were with nationalist ideologies, and both were supported by the US. In both situations, the North was stronger, if the situation was that the combat was going to be one on one without the foreign support.
