Saigon, known today as Ho Chi Minh City, was significantly affected by World War II as it was under Japanese occupation from 1940 to 1945. Following the war, it became a focal point in the First Indochina War as Vietnamese nationalists fought for independence from French colonial rule. During the Korean War (1950-1953), Saigon was not directly involved, but it was part of the broader context of Cold War tensions in Southeast Asia, with the U.S. supporting the French and later the South Vietnamese government.
