the north took it over but the gov. eventually collapsed because they lacked strong leadership
The North won the war.
No more North & South Vietnam; just Vietnam.
Vietnam has never had a democratic government, so nothing has ever happened to this non-existent entity. If you are referring to the Republic of Vietnam (often called South Vietnam), which was a regime in the south of Vietnam from 1954-1975, this country was not a democracy. Although it has the word "Republic" in its name, it was really a state ruled by a strongman who was deeply beholden to US interests. As for what happened to this country, when the US withdrew military forces from Vietnam in 1973, the North Vietnamese Army overran the defenses of South Vietnam and conquered the country, bringing Vietnam into united Communist rule.
The majority of Americans were glad when the US withdrew from South Vietnam. The war was a disaster in terms of American casualties and opposition to carrying on the war grew stronger by the day. In retrospect, the US should never have intervened there or, left when the circumstances were not at the level of chaos.
There were 3 wars involving Vietnam in the 20th Century: 1. Guerilla warfare against the Japanese during WWII (1941-1945), with US assistance. 2. The French Indochina War (1946-1954); French Vietnam War. 3. The US Indochina War (1961-1973); US Vietnam War.
The United States withdrew from Vietnam on March 29, 1973.
After the US withdrew from Vietnam the Vietcong came into power. South Vietnam fell under communist rule by the Vietcong.
The U.S. entered the Vietnam war in 1959 and withdrew in 1973
North defeated the South.
False. The US lost the Vietnam War. The South, whom the US were supporting, had become very corrupt and the US public withdrew their support for the war. The US withdrew and retreated, so their objective was not achieved, and therefore was lost.
You is not specified. Is this the US, China, Japan, or some other person, corporation, or nation?
In 1973 the US withdrew it's combat forces from South Vietnam, but in 1975 the US evacuated it's remaining US personnel from South Vietnam; as the war ended on 30 April 1975 as a Northern victory over the South.
The US went, fought, and departed.
The Vietnam War happened in the 1960's and throughout the 60's. The Vietnam War is considered to be one of the most pointless wars in US history.
The fear of being invaded was not a justification for the increase in US involvement in Vietnam. The US withdrew from Vietnam in 1975.
The war transitioned from a guerrilla war into a conventional war.
Nothing out of the ordinary, life went on as usual (which was "part" of the problem for returning GIs from the war..."some" people back home in the US acted as if nothing happened over there (in Vietnam).
No more North & South Vietnam; just Vietnam.
