The Biggest Final Battles of Vietnam, 1973-74 | Fully Animated Documentary

~THE END OF THE VIETNAM WAR, 1973-1975 - FIGHTING AFTER AMERICA
What really happened after the Vietnam War was supposedly “ended” in 1973?
Most history books and documentaries skip over the two-year war that followed the Paris Peace Accords. Much of the public believes the Vietnam War simply ended when American forces withdrew—followed by an immediate collapse of South Vietnam. That version of history glosses over two full years of brutal, continuous fighting that decided the war’s final outcome.

From January 1973 to January 1975, the Republic of Vietnam fought an intense, nationwide war against a North Vietnamese army that never intended to honor the ceasefire. While the world believed peace had arrived, some of the largest and bloodiest battles of the entire Vietnam War were still being fought.

Using official North Vietnamese Army histories, South Vietnamese military records, and U.S. intelligence sources, this video reconstructs the true end of the Vietnam War—a war fought fiercely to the very end by South Vietnamese forces. South Vietnam did not simply collapse. It was isolated, starved of support, and worn down by continuous combat.
This is the hidden war after America left Vietnam.
