When the Chinese communists won the civil war in China in 1949 they began
to send the Viet Minh military aid. This concerned the United States which
was worried about the spread of communism in Asia. These were the early
years of what was described as the Cold War. The Cold War was the name
given to the rivalry that developed after the Second World War between the
US and its allies and communist powers such as the Soviet Union, China and
their allies. During the Cold War the superpowers did not fight each other directly
(as in a 'hot war') but instead fought indirectly, often by taking sides in other
conflicts such as those in Korea in 1950-53 and later Vietnam.
