The Vietcong, officially known as the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam, was a communist-led guerrilla force that fought against the South Vietnamese government and U.S. military during the Vietnam War, a key conflict during the Cold War. They aimed to reunify Vietnam under communist rule and employed tactics such as ambushes and booby traps. Supported by North Vietnam, the Vietcong played a crucial role in the eventual fall of Saigon in 1975, leading to the reunification of Vietnam. Their resistance highlighted the broader ideological struggle between communism and capitalism during the Cold War era.
