Question

When was Vietnam unified?

Answer 1

Hint: Vietnam is a one-party Communist state with one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia. They had set a goal of becoming a developed country by 2020.

Complete answer:
The Vietnam War continued from 1954 to 1975, bringing the country united. Before the Second World War, Vietnam was a French colony. In 1954, the French withdrew from Vietnam after a long colonial struggle. However, in 1954, Vietnam was divided into North and South Vietnam. North Vietnam was ruled by communists, while South Vietnam was ruled by a government supported by the United States.

The Vietnam War began as a conflict between North and South Vietnamese forces. However, it prompted other countries to join in, most especially the United States, in support of South Vietnam. The war lasted 21 years and concluded in 1975 when the US military withdrew. The war ended in victory for North Vietnam. Vietnam was united as a communist country.

The National Liberation Front (NLF) is a Vietnamese political organisation that was established on December 20, 1960, to overthrow the South Vietnamese government and bring North and South Vietnam back united.

On April 30, 1975, the NLF occupied the presidential palace in Saigon and unified Vietnam.

Note: In 1949, China became a communist country, and communists ruled North Vietnam. The United States was concerned that communism would spread from South Vietnam to the rest of Asia. The United States decided to assist the South Vietnamese government by sending currency, supplies, and military advisers.
