(‘vietnam’ is the ‘easternmost country’ on the ‘indochina peninsula’ in ‘southeast asia’)
(with an estimated ‘90.5 million inhabitants’ as of ‘2014’, it is the world’s 14th-most-populous country…
(+ the 8th most-populous ‘asian’ country)
.
(“vietnam” is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, and Malaysia across the South China Sea to the southeast)
Its capital city has been Hanoi since the reunification of North and South Vietnam in 1975.
Vietnam was part of Imperial China for over a millennium, from 111 BC to AD 939.
An independent Vietnamese state was formed in 939, following a Vietnamese victory in the Battle of Bạch Đằng River.
Successive Vietnamese royal dynasties flourished as the nation expanded geographically and politically into Southeast Asia, until the Indochina Peninsula was colonized by the French in the mid-19th century.
Following a Japanese occupation in the 1940s, the Vietnamese fought French rule in the First Indochina War, eventually expelling the French in 1954.
Thereafter, Vietnam was divided politically into two rival states, North and South Vietnam.
Conflict between the two sides intensified in what is known as the Vietnam War.
The war ended with a North Vietnamese victory in 1975.
Vietnam was then unified under a communist government but remained impoverished and politically isolated.
In 1986, the government initiated a series of economic and political reforms which began Vietnam’s path towards integration into the world economy.
By 2000, it had established diplomatic relations with all nations.
Since 2000, Vietnam’s economic growth rate has been among the highest in the world, and, in 2011, it had the highest Global Growth Generators Index among 11 major economies.
(its successful economic reforms resulted in its joining the ‘world trade organization in 2007)
(it is also a ‘historical member of the “Organisation Internationale de la francophonie”)
.
(‘vietnam’ remains one of the world’s 4 remaining one-party ‘socialist states’ officially espousing ‘communism’)
(along with ‘china’ / ‘north korea’ / ‘laos’ / ‘cuba’
“CINO”
1927:
the vietnamese nationalist party, a revolutionary socialist political party that sought independence from french colonial rule in vietnam, was formed in hanoi
24 December 1964:
The Vietcong bombed the Brinks Hotel in Saigon, killing two US Army officers, raising fears of an escalation in the Vietnam War
in 1972, vietnam war peace talks collapsed. and so the United States began Operation Linebacker II against North Vietnam, the largest heavy bomber strikes launched by the U.S.
(‘air force’ since the end of World War II. guess we felt the 20th century was our time to really take it to the asians, as we had in the previous century ‘gainst the indians and the century before that against ‘the africans’)
*but that’s just me…*
