    Vietnam has a long history dominated by occupation and exploitation from foreign powers like China. It gained independence from China but continued to face invasions from Northern invaders and then France, which controlled Vietnam as part of French Indochina for nearly 100 years. In the 1940s, Ho Chi Minh led the Viet Minh in an independence movement against France and Japan. This led to the Vietnam War in the 1960s as the US sent troops to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam. After almost 20 years of war and millions of deaths, Vietnam was reunified under communist rule in 1976. Vietnam's culture has been shaped by influences like Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and colonial powers like France

    Chào mừng bạn đến viet nam today I welcome you to the land of Vietnam a land of untouched nature,

    primeval forests,
    and cultural complexities. Vietnam is a southeast Asian country with mixed ethnicities and multiple languages. It is also
    famously known as the land of the “Ascending Dragon” for its geographical shape on the world map The nation has at
    least 50 ethnic groups and therefore is one of the most diverse countries in the world.

    Let us now delve on Vietnams history. Vietnam’s history begins with the occupation and exploitation by foreign powers.
    Their early history is dominated by China. China has repeatedly invaded Vietnam for over half of the small country's
    existence.

    After the Chinese Rule, the Vietnamese gained independence, but there were no end to their struggle. Their nation
    was then caught in a series of wars against the Northern Invaders. From 1859 to 1885 the country was successively
    invaded by French forces and eventually became part of the French Indochina and kept under its protectorate for nearly
    100 years.

    During the 1940’, the nationalist liberation movement Viet Minh emerged under Ho Chi Minh with the purpose of regaining
    independence from France and to defy Japanese occupation. n 1960’s the Vietnam War broke causing the US to send
    about 500,000 troops during the peak of the war in 1965. The US president approved a strategic air command (SAC)
    bombing operation in Cambodia and Laos called Operation Menu. After almost 20 years of war and millions of deaths ,
    South Vietnam shortly became the Republic of South Vietnam after the fall of Saigon and formally integrated with the North
    under communist rule as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on 1976.

    Throughout the formation and development of Viet Nam, patriotism, self-reliance, tradition of unity and the willpower to
    fight for the righteous cause of the nation are the most important features and the moral standards of the Vietnamese. The
    tradition of industriousness, creativeness and patience originates from the life full of hardship of the Vietnamese people.

    Vietnam’s history is scarred by invasion. First by the Chinese, then the French, then the Americans. And along left their
    influence in religion, tradition, culture, and culinary marks.

    The most widespread religions of Vietnamese are Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. Sometimes, they are grouped
    together as one religion called the three teachings or tam giáo
    The Vietnamese Lunar New Year is undoubtedly the most important and widely celebrated public festival of the year in
    Vietnam. It is the occasion for Vietnamese to express their respects for ancestors as well as welcoming the lunar New
    Year with family members.

    The most common dish in Vietnam is undoubtedly pho. Pho ba is thought to hav influenced by the French
    colonialists’ pot-au-feu, or beef stew. And Some say the main inspiration was the Chinese dish guòqiáo mĭ xiàn

    The drawbacks of vietnam is the lasting after effects of vietnamese war. the U.S. Army’s use of herbicides such as Agent
    Orange not only devastated Vietnam’s natural environment but also caused widespread health problems that have
    persisted for decades. Not only this, but the consequences of the vuetnam war left behind poverty after half a century
