What happened to the losers of the Vietnam war?

Answer 1

The losers of the Vietnam War, primarily the South Vietnamese government and military, faced significant repercussions after the fall of Saigon in April 1975. Many South Vietnamese officials were imprisoned, executed, or fled the country as refugees, often referred to as "boat people." The unification of Vietnam under communist rule led to economic struggles, political repression, and the implementation of land reforms that affected many former military personnel and government supporters. Over time, Vietnam has undergone significant economic reforms and opened up, but the legacy of the war continues to impact the nation and its people.
