Who were the non-communist armies in the Vietnam War supported by?

  1. China and Russia

  2. The United States

  3. Cuba

  4. France

The correct answer is: The United States

During the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong were supported by China and Russia, two communist countries. The United States, on the other hand, supported the South Vietnamese Army and provided military and economic aid. Cuba, while also a communist country, did not directly involve itself in the war. France, the former colonizer of Vietnam, initially supported the South Vietnamese government but eventually withdrew from the conflict. Therefore, the correct answer is the United States.
