First of all, If you study the history of Vietnam after 1945, you will notice that it is almost entirely filled with conflict and violence, in which there is a fierce struggle led by nationalist forces under the Communist Party of Vietnam. The Communist State of Vietnam has led the Vietnamese people to overcome the horrific consequences of an event that can be referred to as the ‘Vietnamese Holocaust”.
