What is the Difference between Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server

Sounds like a very simple question. But What is the difference between TFS and Visual Studio Team System ?

I know TFS is version control and VSTS is collection of tools for developers, architects, testers.

But is TFS a part of VSTS ??

Also what is Visual Studio Team Services ? How are these products different from one another.

Please explain as these things can be sometimes very confusing.

See more detaled information in documentation.
