What did Vietnamese refugees bring to Australia?

Answer 1

hey the vietnamese came to Australia to escape the new communist government as the us lost the war. as an air flight was not valid they turned to small vessels and Australia is one of the closest non communist land masses.

Actually, the USA did not lose the war. The South Vietnamese did.

Answer 2

Australia and America are both continents with plenty of space (and anyone who doesn't believe that, should try driving across country some time, either country...Australia or the US). The second reason is both Australia and America were primary allies (combatants) of the South Vietnamese during the war.

The word "purge" probably doesn't mean too much to many people (especially today), but during the cold war days, a purge was killing a lot of people in a short period of time. The communists had a reputation for conducting a "purge." The South Vietnamese left South Vietnam as it was being conquered by the northern armies, and if there was to be a "purge" (a bloodbath) they were hoping to "not be part of it."

Answer 3

During the Vietnam War and in years after, many people in Vietnam wished to escape from the communism of their homeland. Australia was their destination as it was close by and Australia allowed these Vietnamese people to settle there.

Answer 4

Many Vietnamese have come to the United States in pursuit of the same dreams and hopes that have motivated numerous others to come to the United States.

However, a significant percentage of Vietnamese immigrants to the United States were those who were loyal to the South Vietnam government or to US Soldiers in the Vietnam War. Especially if they were ethnic minorities (like the Hmong), they faced the serious possibility from the victorious North Vietnam government. The United States graciously owned up to the fiasco it had created in Vietnam and resettled hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese who had chosen to support the US in the US, where their descendants remain today.

There are also US programs that help to reunite families that were created when US Soldiers had dalliances with Vietnamese locals and fathered half-American half-Vietnamese children.
