This war followed the First Indochina War (1946¿54) and was fought between North Vietnam¿supported by the Soviet Union, China and other communist allies¿and the government of South Vietnam¿supported by the United States, Philippines and other anti-communist allies.[46] The Viet Cong (also known as the National Liberation Front, or NLF), a South Vietnamese communist common front aided by the North, fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region. The People's Army of Vietnam, also known as the North Vietnamese Army (NVA), engaged in a more conventional war, at times committing large units to battle. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
