The Vietnam War

I have decided to make a post completely dedicated to the Vietnam War, because of its great importance to our history. This war occured in Vietnam, Loas, and Cambodai, and it lasted from 1959, to April 30th, 1975. Overall the death toll was 3 to 4 million Vietnamese lives lost, 1.5 to 2 million Loas and Cambodian lives lost, and 58,159 US lives lost. This adds up to about 5,58,159 lives lost in just this one war. The war began when communist rulers took over the government, and Vietnam, until the Vietnamese people who opposed communism split from them, and migrated south, to form South Vietnam. North Vietnam called themselves the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and South Vietnam called themselves the Republic of Vietnam. North Vietnam was aided by their communist partners, and South Veitnam was aided by the US, and others in the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. (SEATO) Eventually, after many years of war, the US pulled out, the North Vietnam came over to finnaly take control of the entire Vietnam, to make all of Vietnam, the Socialist Repeblic of Vietnam. When the Flag of Vietnam was adopted, only North Vientam took it, until they won the war. Now the entire country uses it as their flag.
