Who are the boat people from Vietnam?
Boat people are refugees from Vietnam trying to flee Vietnam after the war ended in 1975.In 1954. Vietnam was divided into the North (Communism) and South (Demoracy). The North was supported by the Chinese and Soviet Union bloc. The South was backed by the U.S and its allies. During that year the Vietnamese were free to choose where to live. There has been more than 1 milion North Vietnamese moved to the South to live within the year of 1954, mostly by boat. In 1973 the U.S withdrew out of Vietnam, two year later, 1975 the country was reunited after the North had over-run the South government. Again, the Vietnamese must risk their lives to escaped out of the communist rulers by boat, this time was not 1 million, but more than 3 million of people set out to the sea. These people are called "boat people". There is more than 1 million Vietnamese residing in the U.S, the rest of them are scattering all over the world.In the history of mankind, there is no other exodus of people that iwas in such a large scale including the immigration of the Jews.
