The Vietnam War was a conflict in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia from November 1, 1955 up to the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975.
North Vietnam was supported by the Soviet Union, China and other communist allies while South Vietnam was supported by the United States and other anti-communist allies. The war had an enormous impact on human lives - an estimated 1 to 3 million Vietnamese soldiers and civilians, 300,000+ Cambodians and approximately 50,000 Laotians as well as our own 58,200 US service members died in conflict and another 1,600 remain missing in action. |
