Vietnam

Safe Passage

The deaths of Indian tourists in a speedboat accident off Vietnam’s coast are, first and foremost, a human tragedy.

War and Consent

The most enduring consequence of a war is often not what happens on the battlefield, but what it reveals about the institutions that authorise it.

Triumph of Will~II

The situation worsened and in 1968 Nixon won the election with a promise to end the war in Vietnam. However, Nixon continued with the bombing including North Vietnam with the aim of bringing the Communists to the negotiating table.

Triumph of Will~I

On 30 April 1975, Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam was captured by North Vietnam. Ever since it is marked as Reunification Day. This process began with the signing of the Paris Accord ending US involvement in South Vietnam on 27 January 1973.
