North Vietnam
North Vietnam, officially known as the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV), played a central role in the Vietnam War (1955-1975). Led by the communist revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh, North Vietnam aimed to reunify Vietnam under a communist government, opposing the U.S.-backed Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), which sought to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. The Vietnam War became a Cold War battleground, with North Vietnam receiving support from the Soviet Union and China, while South Vietnam was heavily supported by the United States. The conflict escalated into a prolonged and devastating war, marked by guerrilla warfare, heavy bombings, and significant civilian casualties. The North's persistence, combined with growing anti-war sentiment in the U.S., eventually led to the withdrawal of American forces in 1973 and the fall of Saigon in 1975, resulting in the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule.
