The north was communist, the south was capitalist, which was determined by their supporter states, the USSR and the US after independence in 1954, however, this division was only meant to be temporary, with elections to re-unify the country.
During the Nguyen Dynasty, The Nguyen agreed to leave half of Vietnam to the French. South Vietnam's ownership was transferred to US, and Communist Government tried to take over South Vietnam, which they successfully did.

∙ 16y agoVietnam was divided after the Geneva Accords in 1964. North Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh became communist. South Vietnam was a democracy/autocracy backed by the US after France withdrew in shame, having lost at Dien Bien Phu. The country was supposed to hold a national election. But shenanigans by Ngo Dinh Diem, South Vietnam's president precluded the election. Unable to win via the ballot box, communist North Vietnam turned to war and the establishment of the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam. South Vietnam lost the war following the withdrawal of its ally. Countless people died after the war ended in concentration/reeducation camps or in the attempts to flee on land (via Cambodia) and by sea.
