Part III: The Aftermath
Recap: Saigon falls into the hands of the North Vietnam Army
(NVA) and the country is finally reunified.
The unification of the two Vietnams resulted in the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam, with a capital at Hanoi, which was officially
proclaimed on July 2, 1976. But even though the two sides had reconciled, the
country of Vietnam still had tons of problems after the war. Both sides
suffered many fatalities in addition to the destruction of the country’s natural
environment. While Vietnam had a long recovery path ahead of them due to
foreign affair & economic issues, the country had finally reunified and
attained its official independence after a long struggle. [C]
