Vietnam War


The Vietnam war was a battle between the coalition forces which includes the U.S, the Republic of Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea vs. the coalition forces including the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) and the National Liberation Front. The war took place between 1964-1975 in the southern Vietnam, bordering areas of Cambodia and Laos, and in bombing runs over North Vietnam. The Republic of Vietnam, U.S and their forces were battling against communism and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and their forces were battling for communism. Even with the Americans, a huge superpower on the South side, the North still managed to pull through and win the war for communism. To this day Vietnam still remains communist. It is a good country, but many still feel would hope for a democratic government. This was a sad battle for the south who tried so hard to fight against communism but in the end thousands and thousands of soldiers died fighting in this war.
