Japanese Empire in WW II

© T. M. Whitmore The Vietnam War The civil war ending French colonial rule of Vietnam led to the division of the country between the Communist north and the Western-allied south. Beginning in 1963, the US sent troops to assist the south 600,000 US troops, 60,000 US casualties, and millions of Vietnamese casualties. By 1973 the US was forced to withdraw and the south was later captured by the north.

Herbicides such as Agent Orange were used by US forces to defoliate large areas of South Vietnam. This released chemicals known as dioxins, leading to health effects and birth defects for US soldiers and Vietnamese.

Hundreds of thousands fled South Vietnam after the arrival of northern forces, many in small boats who became known as “boat people”.
