One thing missed here is that the USA and South Vietnam didn't fight alone. The United States encouraged other nations to join them, first SEATO members and then through the Many Flags campaign. Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand all sent troops who saw combat. South Korea in particular sent over 300,000.

Oversimplified took too long to make a video about the Vietnam War, so Geo History did it.

Fighting off France, USA, China, and the Khmer Rouge, in near-uninterrupted war for 50 years. Astonishing

Love Vietnam from Serbia 🇻🇳❤️🇷🇸

Great video! In my American public school history class, the history of Vietnam might as well have started about three seconds before the US got involved.

Love Vietnam 🇻🇳 from Jamaica 🇯🇲

A small country with a big history.

I’m filipino, and a college student who’s studying history as my major course, Viet Nam’s history along side with Philippine History is truly interesting and wonderful. Love Viet Nam🇻🇳❤️🇵🇭

Great country with good people. 🇫🇷❤🇻🇳

This is one of the best videos about history I have ever seen. Thank you, and have a nice day 🖐🏼👴🏼

This video proves how Undefeated Vietnam is

I'm from Vietnam and i've been a big fan of your channel for a very long time

And to think that the US and Vietnam are now somewhat cool with each other, that I still can’t get over. Great video

I am Vietnamese and I am extremely proud of this.

Vietnam will not bow to any oppressors neither Asian nor Europeans. With high respect from your neighbor. ❤️ 🇻🇳

All your videos are so educational. I learned most of it in school but to VISUALLY SEE is on a MAP, CHRONOLOGICALLY organized and in a SUMMARIZED way is PRICELESS. Congratulations!!! Can you please make more videos on: Arab Spring, Evolution of Religions, Military Regimes in Latin THANK YOU TONS

Hello from Australia! May all those who lost their lives in the Indochina wars and the later Vietnam war rest in peace.

As a vietnamese, I would say this video is 100% correct

FACT: "The biggest fear of a true Vietnamese is the fear of losing country"

Awesome video! Can you make a video about the Triple Alliance War? (Also known as the Paraguayan War) Or the River Plate's history since the arrival of the Europeans.

Saying that the Taiping Rebellion “results in many deaths” is a massive understatement. It is often described as the bloodiest civil war in history. The most widely cited sources estimate the total number of deaths during the almost 14 years of the rebellion to be approximately 20 to 30 million civilians and soldiers. Most of the deaths were attributed to plague and famine. Some analysts have claimed that the death toll may have reached 100 million.

Nice detailed analysis. Now i know more about history of vietnam region. You should have added last part - about 5 min what was going on on vietnam between 1980 and today.

This man deserves 1 million subscribers

Really great content explaining so much! I love these videos. The only thing I might add is that a little topographical information on the maps might help. When looking at the shape of Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh trail etc. I found myself wondering if this is just flatland, or there are mountains/hills along this line, or what. Reminds me of Peru cradling along the outside edge of a larger landmass.

Wow that awesome bro I love history vietnam 🇺🇸❤️🇻🇳

I was looking for a video like this thank you! :))

He doesn't post often, but whenever he does, he sure amazes us.

GEO HISTORY FINALLY DROPPED A VID LETS GOO

So difficult to find literally ANY information on this is America. Weather it be literature or in documentary. So much history and good information drowned in triva and the goings on of celebrities. Thank you for helping to keep knowledge alive. If I could ask for anything it would be where you get your information and learning from

This is such a great video, good job!

Just a suggestion, add some older history and title it The History of Vietnam or just title the video History of Vietnam since 1700 and just start there to sound more organized. Still well done. I love all your videos! Please post more if you can 🙏. I have a lot of suggestions for you if you’re interested.

Can't wait for this!

Arguably one of the most impressive win streaks in history, I don’t like communists but I absolutely give all my props to Vietnam, absolute madlads.

Yay, I can finally watch a new video!

From the video, in 1907 showing how Siam lost her territory of Siem Rath, Phra Tabong, Sri Sophon to France . This included the angkor wat too.

Awesome video. Top notch as always. I would love to see your take on the colonialisation of New Zealand, particularly the land wars between the colonial & British armies against the native Maori chiefs which occurred following the signing of The Treaty of Waitangi / Te Tiriti o Waitangi

This video was very cool! Very well made as usual. You probably won't see this, but could you do a history of the UK/England? I would love it!

Anticipating a new masterpiece!

Very good summary. I only missed a more explicit mention of Pol Pot.

This seems like it’ll be a good one

Finally a True video after months

Vietnam does whatever he wants! only this country could have been so chad to win a war against USA, China, invading and conquering Cambodia all within approximately 10 years and without taking a break!

I come from Vietnam, I'm always proud of my country's heroic history, I always wonder what foreigners think about my country's history, I accidentally saw your video on KZfaq, I didn't expect Other countries also know and care about my country's history, I thank you very much for your video

They defeated the French, US, China, and Pol Pot's Cambodia back to back and were the "good guy" in every single one of those conflicts. I'm in awe of the Vietnamese people and hopefully once all the Vietnam vets have passed away, it won't be such a touchy subject to label us as evil for everything we did to Vietnam. Also should've mentioned that the Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred due to blatant provocation by the US and was effectively a hoax to draw us in.

good work . if you can do one about Afghanistan wars

Great video that makes internet worthy. Ironically many details here are not being taught/clarified in VN school

Missing quite a bit on the British efforts in Vietnam and why they ended up leaving shortly after regaining control.

Deposing the Cambodian horror is one of the best things Vietnam has ever done, although it probably wasn't because of the horrors

honestly id say that the vietnam war should more widely be called the 2nd indochina war since the americans also involved themselves in civil wars in cambodi and laos

Baby wake up, geo history just uploaded

11/7 explanation bestest video

BANGER!!!!

Could you please enable saving this video? I'm trying to save this video for future reference/study in a playlist, but unfortunately, there's no Save button on this page.

Quite accurate about the prewar history and causes including China , Siam and her vassal states involvement in forming of French Indo-China. Unlike other channel who lacks of real knowledge.

Excellent! Thank you.

Super vidéo, franchement c'est difficile de trouver un aussi bon résumé sur ce topic sur KZfaq. J'ai hate de voir tes prochains sujets ! Y'a un endroit pour en discuter ? (Reddit, Twitter ou Insta ?) Petite critique cependant, je trouve que les meffets de la colonisation française n'ont pas été assez abordés, et j'avoue que les guerres contre le Cambodge et la Chine auraient peut etre mérité un peu plus de développement. Continue comme ça !

Very Interesting Video

Honey, wake up. Geohistory just posted

You forgot that since Vietnam's Dai Co Viet era, we have owned the two archipelagos of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa on the map.

I suggest you to do the Lam Son rebellion by the Later Lê dynasty in 1407. In my opinion this is the toughest and the hardest fight in the whole Vietnam histort, even more than the mongolia invasion. If you have time to do the research then i would highly suggest you to take a loôk about the Lam Sơn rebellion

Hey would you ever concider making videos on the 100 years war or the war of the roses?

Great videos I hope you post more often

Awesome summary

I'm hyped

Great video !!! Also Vietnam today is one of the few countries who are still communiest.

there is quite a lot of inaccuracy but the video is the least American Bias I have ever seen. 1st the Tây Sơn Rebellion was started by 3 brothers whose family name is Nguyễn, the same as the ruling lord of Cochinchina, so the Clan was also Nguyễn and not Tây Sơn. 2nd, the Trịnh Forces did not ally themselves with the Tây Sơn, Nguyễn Nhạc the eldest brother submitted to the Trịnh lord in order to focus on the remnant of the Nguyễn Lord forces. 3rd, the Treaty of Versailles in 1887 stated that Nguyễn Ánh had to open Đà Nẳng(Tourane) for trade and not seize it to France, and Côn Đảo(Côn Island) and Quảng Nam which include Đà Nẳng were seized to France. 4th Đại Nam under French colonization was divided into 3 administration regions of Cochinchina, Annam, and Tonkin. Cochinchina was a fully-fledged French Colony, Annam was a protectorate, and Tonkin was half a colony and half a protectorate. 5th Bảo Đại had never attempted to reform the country as he might have known what happened to his ancestor Emperor Hàm Nghi the 8th Emperor of the Nguyễn Dynasty, he died exiled in Algeri and he was a twat that only care of his own pleasure as well.

Yessir, Cold War even more simplified by non other than Geo History

Now THIS is a good morning.

The history of vietnam and other south east asian countries like cambodia, laos and thailand is so overlooked.

I read a book by a ww2 and Vietnam war veteran. I’m actually still reading it and so far I’ve learned that there was no real reason why we were there. We were not allowed to invade north Vietnam because that would trigger ww3 with the soviets and chinese. So we knew that but we still stayed knowing there would be no real peace. The CIA at the time played a big part of transfering 2 million north Vietnamese to the south because they were catholic which would fit the democratic society built by the SMM SAIGAN Military Mission an organization in the 50s that was sponsored by the CIA to do these transfers and change in Vietnamese society so that it would not be communist. Im still reading

5:38 "A French expedition is sent to negotiate, but oversteps its mission and conquers the city" Lmao

Vietnam is a pretty good topic Oversimplified could have done but failed to do so.

Great ! Tks video

I will always be surprised of the current relationship between the US and Vietnam and how they were able to reestablish and strengthen ties in the decades following the war

I am interested in seeing a video about the Thirty Years War.

Pretty good video but I'm annoyed at how the invasion of Cambodia was presented. How could you left out the fact that VN troop had to do something about the Khmer rouge. They killed millions of their own people and started killing Vietnamese along the border too. What other choice did they have

My only criticism is labelling it as a war between Vietnam and the USA. More countries were involved.

"The right of nations to self-determination"...ad long as they choose what we tell them to.

Let's goo man he is back

Nice a 25 minute video of my favorite Southeast Asia country

Rất tuyệt vời cảm ơn bạn về video này 🇻🇳

cool video

Thank you for the true Vietnam war. Love Vietnam

i love that you mention Paracel and Spratly islands at the end. Those island was ceded by Nguyen dynasty, then they were controled by French colony government. After Dien Bien Phu battle, they were controled by South Vietnam. So in logical, they should be belong to Vietnam not China. Because China didn't declare a formal war to South Vietnam or North Vietnam, and no one recognized China's owned them in any treaty.

Great subject matter.

I like how Bou dei was always used as the puppet ruler😂

I notice a wrong representation of territory in the map of Vietnam and Thailand during the 1800's time period. The reign of Minh Mang (Nguyen Dynasty) at the height of there power they had control over half of Laos if not all of it except for the western territories from Siam and half of Cambodia. There has been shown physical old map documented from France, Vietnam and China showing the extent of Dai Nam's empire and power under Minh Mạng's rule, again it shows most of Laos and the western part of the half was Thailand's. There was a long war going on during this time period with Siam (Thailand) and Dai Nam (Vietnam) over the control of Khmer's fragmented empire.. The southern territory of Vietnam did have control over half of Cambodia when the Khmer empire was weak. That is why France was able to take over Laos and Cambodia without much of a fight from both Cambodia or Laos because they were basically split into half under the rule of both Vietnam and Thailand during that period. It was later on when Vietnam was fighting with France that Thailand came in and took most of Laos territory away from Vietnam but that was very short lived because France came in and took it over like how this video shows us at around 8:10 in the video explains it. So most of Laos was under Vietnam's rule before France came in but of course France took more territory than what it really was from Siam when they made that treaty with Siam for control of Laos. I am not discrediting this video by any means but a little more better accuracy could have made this video much better.

Video này chuẩn lịch sử luôn đó.

Somewhat biased video. The Vietnamese did not attack Catholics, they fought back against French Imperialism. It just so happens that most French happen to be Catholics. The French claimed they were protecting the rights of Catholics in Indochina as an excuse for the pretext of more military intervention and the expansion of the French empire.

A technical correction: At (16:00), no country signed the Geneva Accords’ Final Declaration which called for free elections to unify North and South Vietnam. It was an unsigned document to which most of the conferees verbally agreed, but to which the United States and South Vietnam did not.

This is the first pretty good summary of events on the history of vietnam from a western perspective that i have seen

Vietnam could have been a great ally of the US. As the video shows that they were never close to Cambodia or China and fought wars against them. But Ho Chi Min wanted independence and America supported them being a colony of France. If America had not supported France and then supported Vietnamese independence it could have all been different

Esperó también puedan hacer uno de la guerra de Secesion.

Love Vietnam from Vietnam 🇻🇳

Yôôô! Tôi học tiếng việt và tôi thích video này

Poor Laos just wanted to be left alone. Laotian people are some of the most giving people on earth.

You should make a video about Afghanistan from the fall of the monarchy to the present day

Pro tip. Vietnamese words are single syllable, 'Nguyen' is pronounced more like 'Win'. Apart from that, awesome video.

Very good, doesn't need the repeated hiphop beats but it was good.

As Vietnam i can confirm this is real.
