Abstract

The Vietnam War ended on April 30, 1975, when the North Vietnamese army arrived in Saigon, leading to the fall of the city. President Nguyen Van Thieu resigned on April 21, blaming the United States for the situation in South Vietnam. The fall of Saigon marked the culmination of a long struggle against foreign control, leading to the renaming of the city to Ho Chi Minh City. The conflict in Vietnam had roots in the First Indochina War and the subsequent division of the country, with the US becoming involved in the fight against communism. [Extracted from the article]
