The Vietnam War
Began in 1946 and lasted until 1954, with the Indochina War pitting France, which wanted to reconquer its former colony, against Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh.
The conflict then turned into an open war between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. One side was supported by communist forces and the other by opposing countries.
The Americans landed in 1965 and remained until 1975, when the war ended with the victory of the Khmer Rouge.
During eight years of war, 2 million Vietnamese were killed, while 57,000 American forces were killed and 153,303 wounded.
