Why did the Vietnamese go to war with Cambodia in the mid 20th century? Did they "liberate" the nation or merely occupy it? Also, to what degree did the US aid Cambodia?

Similar questions have been asked a few times recently perhaps I’ll answer this one a bit differently and add some extra bits but perhaps some of these answers will fill you in in the mean time

why did Vietnam invade Cambodia ? were human rights violations a motivation?
