Vietnam

Well, theoretically it was just Vietnam and the Americans, although the Americans took over the job from the French who discovered pretty quickly that it was a war they wanted no part of. But, somebody was quietly backing the North Vietnamese, and that somebody was China.

Hard to say after 1945, the French suppose to rule Vietnam. But the French is too weak after World War 2 so the British India had to support the French thus Great Britain ruled Vietnam for a year. The Viet Minh lead by Ho Chi Minh also fight for the control of the country. The Japanese surrendered in 1945 but their official still held the French as P.O.W. and taught the Viet Minh how to fight until they are ordered to go back. So I would say the Allies ruled Vietnam while constantly under attack by the Vietnamese Communist Party.

The US placed an oil embargo upon Japan because they had been invading other nations to take their oil and natural resources. The Japanese were killing innocent people in China and other places to get the resources they needed. The US demanded they leave those nations and stop stealing oil and other natural resources.

The French were defeated by the Viet Minh May 7th 1954.

This marked the independence of French Indochina, which was subsequently split into North Vietnam and South Vietnam until 1975.

The invasion was about border dispute between the Kampucheans and Vietnamese government. As Pol Pot wanted his nation to become "year zero" a utopia and agrarian society. As vision of following his theory of "year zero" he wanted the "lost" land which belongs to Khmer Empire long ago but the Vietnamese took it. As the Kampucheans negotiate with Vietnam about give their "land" back, the Vietnamese immediately rejected their claim. Pol Pot assign a invasion to Vietnam island, Phú Quốc. The Khmer Revolutionary army captured Phú Quốc, but the Vietnam People's Army quickly re-captured it again. Massacre was against the Vietnamese people who were living in Phú Quốc. As a return the VPA invaded Democratic Kampuchea with 120,000 troops and captured Phnom Penh in 17 days two years later from the Khmer Rouge invasion of Phú Quốc. They setup a pro-Vietnamese government in People's Republic of Kampuchea with a puppet. As a revenge, the Khmer Rouge seek for the Chinese for action, Eventually the Chinese attempt to invade Vietnam. PRC was defeated. There was 2 reason why they lost.

1. They did not reach to Hanoi

2. They did not get the Vietnamese out of Cambodia.

And there you have it -

Vietnam invaded Cambodia because Khmer Rouge massacre in Phú Quốc. (South of Cambodia)

China, France, Japan; in that order.

The Fall of Saigon, which occurred on April 30, 1975, happened during the presidency of Gerald Ford. It marked the end of the Vietnam War.

This is a question that is answered differently depending on political orientation.

According to the Vietnamese, the first colonizers of Vietnam were the Chinese who attempted to integrate Vietnam into China at several points over the last 2000 years. (Of course, the Chinese argue that Vietnam was a province of China that managed to break away from Chinese control in fits and starts.)

Outside of Vietnam, especially in the West, the colonization of Indochina (which included Vietnam) under the French is considered the first colonization of Vietnam. They disqualify the Chinese invasions either because the Chinese Occupation was distinct from colonization as it would be practiced in the Imperialist Period or because of the Euro-centric idea that only Western countries can colonize.

In 1940-41, the Japanese advanced into and took control of Northern and Southern French Indo-China, as France had been defeated by Germany at that time. It was during this period that Ho Chi Minh, a Vietnamese Communist, returned to Vietnam from China and headed a Revolutionary League to regain independence for Vietnam. In 1945, he proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. When the Allies defeated Japan in WWII, the British and Chinese accepted the surrender of the Japanese in Vietnam, and the French re-entered the area and took control again. On December 19, 1946, Vietminh forces attacked the French in Hanoi, and the Indochina War--also known as the Vietminh War--began. In 1954, the Vietminh defeated the French at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, and the nation was temporarily divided into two sections: north and south. The people of the south chose Ngo Dinh Diem as their ruler, and Ho continued to rule the north. Diem refused to go along with the planned elections in 1956 to unite the nation, because he knew he would lose, so the Vietminh members in the south created the Viet Cong, and the war between north and south for control of the country began.

The The 1st Indochina War also known as the French Indochina War was a fight for independence. The 2nd Indochina War also known as the American Indochina War or American Vietnam War was a fight against communist aggression.

The Vietnamese wanted independence mainly because of it's war-torn history. it had also had a very long history of being occupied and ruled by foreign oppressors. a combination of both these led to a very strong nationalistic feeling amongst the Vietnamese people which made people like Ho Chi Minh strive for Vietnamese independence. Ho chi Minh was first a nationalist and seconded a communist. The ICP (Indochina communist party) formed in 1930 by Ho Chi Minh was not very successful. However the Viet Minh, formed in 1941, was a lot more popular. this is because the people of Vietnam were nationalists - they wanted independence, not communism. Ho chi Minh dreamed of Independence , he found communism to be the answer to his dreams - his path to achieving independence.

According to History Channel, HCM was only 4 feet 11 inches.

Very very common. But one must be careful when using that word "tour." It might be different in the Marine Corps or Navy or Air Force. In the US Army the first tour was a year (12 months). After that, they were in six month increments. Therefore, if a vet says he did 3 tours with the US Army in Vietnam, then that's only 2 years (12 months for the first tour, plus 6 months for the second tour, then 6 months for his third and last tour). And any man doing over 18 months with the US Army in Vietnam almost certainly had to have re-upped (re-enlisted), and was no longer a draftee.

It was an effort to reverse the spread of communism into Southeast Asia. that is wrong an f*CKED UP

Folks living on the coast are mostly fishermen; those inland are mostly farmers; those in the city are mostly merchants. That's about the same everywhere and anywhere you go. During the war, it was the same.

For some GIs it will always be called Saigon. But the tourists can call it Ho Chi Minh City.

Australian troops were sent to Vietnam on Robert Menzies orders (the Australian prime minister of the time). They were sent to Vietnam because Communism was spreading throughout Asia, and Menzies feared it coming to Australia, so he sent our troops in. Although, our troops only started out as advisers to our allies, but sometime later Menzies decided to send in our combat troops.

It was called the "dirty war" (la sale guerre) by the French communists and leftist intellectuals during the Henri Martin affair in 1950 because it aimed to perpetuate French imperialism.

The public had been told that the US was winning the war in Vietnam. Upon seeing the TET fighting on the TV news, it was apparent, that that was not the case. The government could say anything, but a picture was worth a thousand words. The public had been told that the US was winning the war in Vietnam.

well... in my family I'm mostly viet by the way.... but me my whole family all my uncles and aunts and all those people... we get together and celebrate with a huge party! and we get free money from relatives ^^

The last US servicemen left the place during the evacuation of Saigon in April 1975. Although President Ford considered the Mayaquez incident in May 1975 to be the end of it. The Mayaquez was a civilian ship taken by (Communist?) Cambodian pirates on the high seas (who may have been sailing ex-US Navy Swift Boats, one of which was reportedly sunk by US jets during the battle).

a communist state. Also It has an unlimited government and its an authority based government.

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a single-party socialist state having a communist government.
