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. | North Vietnam, officially known as the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV), played a central role in the [[Vietnam War]] (1955-1975).
