The Vietnam War, 1961-1975, engulfed the countries of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia in
a very controversial military conflict between Communist North Vietnam (supported by
the People’s Republic of China and the Soviet Union), South Vietnam, and the United
States. The use of materials such as Agent Orange contributed to the strong anti-war
movement in the United States, which was fueled by the youth revolt movement of the
1960s. The conflict ended with the withdrawal of American forces and the seizure of
South Vietnam’s capital, Saigon, by the North Vietnamese.
Following the war, Vietnam veterans received less support than veterans of previous
wars and were stereotyped as homeless drunks traumatized by the conflict. Vet
Centers eventually opened nationwide to begin treating veterans of the Vietnam,
Korean, and Second World War for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other mental
health issues.
