What impacts did the Vietnam war have on Vietnam?

Answer 1

The Vietnam War had allowed US personnel to live in the country of South Vietnam for will over a decade. During those ten years, the people of Vietnam were able to see how other people live outside of their country. Both good and bad life styles. PHYSICALLY, the terrain of both N. & S. Vietnam, Lao's and Cambodia, has recovered from the scars of war...by the passing of time. The trees and bushes have grown back, and most of the buildings and roads have been rebuilt. War machines, for the most part have turned into re-cycled metal. Vietnam is a communist country now, and whatever impacts are affecting it now, are simply the results of their new communist standard's of living. Most American's have little to no knowledge of those standards. About the only impact of the Vietnam War, that is STILL VISIBLE, just happens to be the most unique and to a lot people, the most beautiful. And, those are the crater ponds or crater lakes created by more than 2 1/2 times more aerial bombs dropped than America dropped in all of WWII. The lush green vegetation consisting of bright green grass, with mixtures of flowers have grown around many of the ponds, making them look beautiful. Farmers, are reportedly cultivating plant life and fish in them. Who would have ever known, back then, that a horrible explosion, that created holes in the earth large enough to hide a full sized pick-up truck in, would 40 years later create a beautiful scenic lake or pond that produced fish and flowers.
