[edit] Wars of National Liberation
- Although this term is definitely correct for the Viet Minh war against the French (and arguably, a continuation of it in Vietnam), it is equally arguable that the Vietnamese assertion of control of Laos and Cambodia (whatever the respective pretexts) make this term incorrect for those respective nations.

[edit] Vietnamese invaded Cambodia
The Vietnamese invaded Cambodia for imperialistic reasons...see the book "Why Vietnam Invaded Cambodia."
- Vietnamese invaded Cambodia because the Khmer Rouge attacked Vietnamese villages near the border and massacred ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia. See all other sources except the book you mentioned.--81.100.174.75 15:18, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Periodization
The Vietnamese Invasion of Cambodia was not a seperate war but the opening act of the Third Indochina War; this needs to be clarified here and in the article on the Third Indochia War. Cripipper 18:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
This article is ludicrous. How did the North Vietnamese conduct a war in South Vietnam without conducting a war (through their Pathet Lao proxies) in Laos? How did the North Vietnamese conduct a war in South Vietnam without 1. the acquiescence of Nordom Sihanouk, 2. the creation of the Sihanouk Trail? In what manner was the Cambodian Civil War related to the Vietnam Conflict? To the Laotian Civil War? Was it possible that the three conflicts were interlinked by geography, politico-military history? By ethnic-racial antagonisms? By ideological similarities or differences? Get a grip. Round Two - So the Sino-Vietnamese war was fought in a vacuum? There was absolutely no casus belli for the Chinese to invade the Socialist Republic of Vietnam? Hilarious!

[edit] Second Indochina War Vs. Vietnam War
Although related, the 2IW should encompass the cross border actions undertaken by the US and NVA/NLF between 1955 and 1975 in Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia. Throughout this time period, with and without the cooperation of the governments of the respective countries both the US and NVA/PLF fought each other and locals, esp Montagnards. This doesn't seem to be covered in the Vietnam War article. There was a show on Discovery last night about some of the Ravens, who were FACs in Laos and lived with the Hmong, but various US special forces and CIA were in all three countries throughout the 2IW, as were the NVA/PLF. 69.19.14.29 16:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC) anonymous internet user guy
