United States assistance to Vietnam
United States assistance to Vietnam refers to the range of economic, military, humanitarian, and development aid provided by the United States to Vietnam, spanning from early Cold War support to the State of Vietnam (via France) and later South Vietnam, through decades of hostility and embargo, to contemporary cooperation on war legacy issues and public health. Initial U.S. assistance began in the 1950s with military aid to the French Union and later expanded to support the government of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
