America was bored and said, Hey lets get the world to bully an Asian nation. So everyone shat on Vietnam until they started fighting back and the US told the Aussie 'Choccos' to win a battle they couldn't and so the Aussies won it and ended up doing the war anyway.
(the aussies were choccos because the us thought we would melt in the jungle. turns out we are better fighters. assholes)
The western world wanted to contain the spread of communism.
Western leaders feared that if South Vietnam lost their civil war and fell to communism, the rest of the region would follow.
They were right.
