Abstract
The article from Australian Geographic discusses the lasting impact of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War, which officially ended 50 years ago. The war, which began in the 1950s, pitted communist North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its ally, the United States. The conflict resulted in significant casualties, including millions of Vietnamese civilians and soldiers, as well as thousands of Australian and American troops. The article also highlights the ongoing intergenerational trauma experienced by veterans and their families, with many suffering from PTSD and high rates of suicide among their children.
