I generally have a very hard time understanding war motives, and I’m always afraid answers might be biased.

Before the start of WWII there was already an Independence movement in Indochina. It was not communist in nature, it was simply independence minded. The French didn’t keep their WWII era promises to decolonize like the other allied powers. As a result communist powers backed the independence seekers and they kicked the French’s asses. Then because Vietnam was going to become communist the US got involved so that another nation didn’t join the communist sphere of influence.
TLDR – Because the Fucking French didn’t keep their promise
