	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Vietnam War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The chief cause of the war was the failure of Vietnamese nationalists, in the form of the Viet Minh, to gain control of southern Vietnam both during and after their struggle for independence from France in the First Indochina War of 1946-1954.
		The Vietnam War was finally concluded on 30 April 1975, with the fall of the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon to North Vietnamese forces.
		The massive escalation of the war from 1964 to 1968 was justified by the administration as a response to the Gulf of Tonkin Incidents of 2-4 August 1964.

	Preface--The Fifteen-Year War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Cambodians and Laotians view the war differently; though Cambodia and Laos, like Vietnam, were part of the French Empire the three nations were swallowed up in the war at different times and in different ways.
		The Cambodian civil war which erupted after the Lon Nol coup of March 1970, though politically distinct from the struggles around it, was inseparable from them operationally, and the fall of Phnom Penh in April 1975 heralded that of Saigon less than two weeks later.
		The major strategic issues of the war were resolved by the hostilities which began in 1946 near Haiphong, impelled by the Vietnamese desire for independence from French rule, and ended in 1975 with the fall of Saigon to the Peoples Army of Vietnam (PAVN).

	Cambodian Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This conflict, although an indigenous civil war, was considered to be part of the larger Second Indochina War (1960-1975) that also consumed the neighboring Kingdom of Laos and Republic of Vietnam.
		From 1972 through 1974, the war was conducted along FANK's lines of communications north and south of the capital in order to maintain contact with the rice-growing regions of the northwest and along Route 5 and the Mekong River, the Republic's overland connections to the south.
		War was one thing, the offhand manner in which the Khmer Rouge dealt out death, so contrary to the Khmer character, was quite another.

	The Cambodian Civil War, 1970-5
		The conquest of Southeast Asia by the Japanese and the events of the Second World War revealed to the Cambodians, as they did to very many Asian peoples, that Europeans and Westerners were not invincible and that independence from their control was an attainable goal.
		However, the unwillingness of the French to provide any kind of appropriate educational system or build modern institutions in their colonies meant that there was little ideological opposition to the twin dogmas of either recidivist nationalism or communism.
		From the period of the expulsion of the French to the 1970s, these forces clashed in the polling station and in the field until open warfare was declared.
