After many years of being apart, Vietnam worked hard to become one united
country. It wasn't easy, but they achieved this through important events, tough
negotiations, and victories.

In 1954, Vietnam was split into two parts: the North, which was led by
communists, and the South, which had support from the United States. This caused
a big difference in beliefs and led to growing tensions and eventually a war.

The Vietnam War, which happened from 1955 to 1975, was a very harsh and
destructive conflict. Many lives were lost, and there was a lot of damage. But this
war also brought about change and played a big role in Vietnam coming together
again.
The final step towards reunification happened in 1975 when Saigon fell. North
Vietnamese forces took over the city, and this marked the end of the Vietnam War.
It was the start of a new chapter for Vietnam, as they officially became one country
again.

Getting to this point wasn't easy. It required a lot of sacrifices, hard work, and
dedication from many people who believed in a united Vietnam. Their
determination and strength have left a lasting impact on the country's history.

Today, Vietnam celebrates Reunification Day every year to remember their unity
and the strength of their people. It's a time for reflection, honoring the past, and
appreciating the sacrifices made to bring the country together.
