The Viet Nam war ended in 1973, the last few thousand US and other foreign troops withdrew March the same year. South Viet Nam would fall in 1975 during a relaunched war campaign by communist forces in Southeast Asia, non-Communist aligned countries would be left to fend for themselves because the US congress passed the Case-Church Amendment forbidding US involvement in Southeast Asia, and Nixon was currently being impeached prohibiting him from objecting
It's funny how hypocritical Europeans were when they called the US defending its allies for imperialism while themselves expected US aid if their communist neighbors would launch an attack
The foreign media called the war a unwinnable and amoral war, they were silent though when peace was signed, they were silent when millions in Southeast Asia died because of the oppression their conquerors deemed necessary for "the greater good", they were silent when some of the worst dictatorships were overthrown by the people, only later have they focused on the worst of the atrocities
The media painted such a biased picture of the post WWII conflicts in the area that the largest military offensive in the region since WWII, the Easter Offensive is almost lost history because not a single US ground soldier participated, anything that made it seem like a war between different nations in Southeast Asia and not the US involving themselves in some good old fashioned European imperialism was buried
