After the reunification of Vietnam in 1975, Vietnam chose to develop closer diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and gradually distanced itself from China. As a result of the policy, private enterprises were nationalized, overseas Chinese property was confiscated, Chinese were marginalized in Vietnamese society, and violence was frequent. China condemned Vietnam's approach and took in a large number of refugees. In 1978, Vietnam signed a treaty of friendship and alliance, and the Vietnamese army attacked Cambodia, triggering the Sino-Vietnamese War.
The outbreak of the Sino-Vietnamese War: Uncovering the truth behind China's self-defense and retaliation.
On December 7, 1978, China decided to resort to war against Vietnam, and its troops were assembled in the Guangzhou and Kunming Military Regions. The initial plan was to annihilate 1-2 Vietnamese divisions, but after Vietnam moved on Cambodia, the Chinese decided to expand the size and add three field armies, with the goal of upgrading from border towns to provincial capitals. The Soviet Military District entered a state of imminent war. On February 17, 1979, China launched a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and quickly achieved results.
Battle of Lang Son: The war burned Vietnam, and the squadron shocked the Vietnamese army.
From February 27 to March 5, the squadron conducted the Battle of Lang Son. Artillery fire fiercely bombarded the Vietnamese city of Lang Son, destroying military and political facilities, and the Vietnamese army was crushed. Our army, with the support of tank troops, captured the urban area, annihilated a large number of Vietnamese troops, and formed a threat to Hanoi. The squadron launched the third phase, successfully completed the withdrawal of troops, Vietnam announced a general mobilization of the whole country, and the war ended on March 16.
Fighting back in post-war Vietnam: economic recession, social unrest.
For ten years, the Vietnamese army was unwilling to be defeated and constantly invaded the border. The squadron carried out pull-out operations, and the main force of the whole army exercised and carried out new-style experiments. In 1990, Vietnam participated in the Asian Games, and in 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed, Vietnam lost support, and Sino-Vietnamese relations gradually normalized. During the war, the squadron advanced into northern Vietnam to recover the territory occupied by the Vietnamese army, about 80,000 Vietnamese people, and the defense facilities were seriously damaged.
Vietnam's economic disaster: the post-war predicament is hard to shake off.
After the war, Vietnam suffered heavy losses, and domestic prices exceeded 50% per year** Industrial output failed to return to pre-war levels. Economic difficulties led to the hardship of the people's lives, and the reform failed, and only the leader of the reform was dismissed, failing to improve the economic environment. The Vietnamese army lost more than 1 million men, and after the war there was an imbalance between men and women, with slow population growth and a shortage of labor. Vietnam is stuck in the status of the world's seafood processing factory, and its economic development is sluggish, missing the opportunity for Asia's economic take-off.
Conclusion: Demystifying the post-war economic and social decline in Vietnam.
The Sino-Vietnamese War took a heavy toll on Vietnam, not only in terms of military defeat, but also in the post-war period of economic and social development. Vietnam** failed to respond effectively after the war, and failed economic reforms, leading to a long period of hardship. This history reminds us that the impact of war on national development is far-reaching and long-lasting, and needs to be treated with caution and prevention.
The above is a detailed description of the historical background of the Sino-Vietnamese War, the course of the war, and the economic and social difficulties of Vietnam after the war. The war was undoubtedly a deep trauma for Vietnam, placing a heavy burden on the already impoverished country.
First, the outbreak of war was rooted in the diplomatic dispute between China and Vietnam. Vietnam chose to move closer to the Soviet Union, leading to a gradual estrangement from China. Subsequently, Vietnam's nationalization of private enterprises in the South, the confiscation of overseas Chinese property, and the exclusion of Chinese in Vietnamese society undoubtedly deepened the contradictions between the two countries. This also became the fuse for the outbreak of the Sino-Vietnamese War.
After the outbreak of the war, China took decisive action to defend itself and fought back, and successfully achieved a series of successes. However, the impact of the war on Vietnam was far-reaching and long-lasting. Vietnam not only lost a large number of soldiers in the war, but also faced serious problems such as domestic prices** and economic recession. In particular, the destruction of Vietnam's industrial base has paralyzed the economy for a long time, and its production capacity has been greatly affected.
The post-war plight of Vietnam, especially the economic downturn and social turmoil, detailed in the article, is thought-provoking. A series of economic reform measures taken by Vietnam after the war failed to effectively promote the country's recovery, on the contrary, led to domestic prices** and living difficulties. This failed economic reform has had a negative impact on Vietnamese society that cannot be ignored.
At the same time, the war also caused Vietnam to lose the support of the Soviet Union behind it and plunged into economic difficulties. In the years after the war, Vietnam was unable to escape its predicament and faced serious social problems. The pressure on people's lives, the economic downturn, and the helplessness of the failure of the reform are all reasons why Vietnam has not been able to achieve true independence and prosperity for a long time.
To sum up, this article provides a profound restoration and analysis of the Sino-Vietnamese War and its aftermath. By looking back on this period of history, we can see that the impact of war on a country is extremely far-reaching, and post-war reconstruction requires political, economic and other efforts. This is also a profound revelation that all countries should maintain peace and guard against war.
