My Viet Nam; Life after the Civil War
March 3, 2017
In 1975, the Civil War in VietNam ended and the life of my family began. My mother was born in Ho Chi Minh city in 1976 . The Civil War in VietNam had been 20 years long. It began in 1955 when the North of VietNam attacked on South of VietNam. Both sides wanted to control the whole country. The North was communist and they won.

My mom was born in 1976. She was born after the VietNam Civil war. In 1975 my country was so happy to end the fighting. On April 30 ,1975 my country actually unified. From 1975 – 2000 , my mom told me that my country was still in such chaos because of the war. It was not until 2000 that my country could be be better from the war. In that time 1975-2000 the economics in my country fell into crisis , the people did not have jobs , homelessness was everywhere. In 2015 the president Barack Obama came to Viet Nam and dealt with Nguyen Phu Trong; my country’s dictator. He promised a stronger relationship with the United States.

War is the worst thing in life, because we literally see people getting killed in front of us and that’s something crazy. Vietnam is a nice country, and people are smart, so they shouldn’t had war between south and north. I mean you all from the same country so you should unified and make sure the country is safe, so any other country goes to war with you and the north and south unified then its hard for anyone to beat you. However, I liked the story and I wish you had more information.
