7:55 DUDE, YOU HAVE THAT HISTORY TOTALLY BACKWARDS!!! The Khmer Rouge was NOT set up by Vietnam. It was backed more by China, the U.S.A., and Thailand, and actually invaded Vietnam (allied more with the Soviet union), which led to Vietnam retaliatorily invading Cambodia and deposing the Khmer Rouge and replacing it with another Soviet-aligned (and much less murderous) regime. China invaded Vietnam in retaliation because Vietnam DEPOSED the Khmer Rouge, WHICH WAS A CHINESE ALLY.
Actually, it seems that Vietnam/North Vietnam and the Viet Cong did support the Khmer Rouge BEFORE they won and took over Cambodia. This makes sense since both were communists fighting against non-communists and Pol Pot fought the French with the Viet Minh in 1953-1954 before leading the 1968 Khmer Rouge insurgency against the Kingdom of Cambodia and U.S.-backed Republic of Cambodia. I presume the Khmer Rouge also helped the Viet Cong, since it's well known that the Viet Cong operated in Cambodia. Thus, there was a very pragmatic reason for the alliance as well as an ideological one. Unfortunately for Vietnam, the Khmer Rouge turned out to be very fascist as well as very communist, and viewed Vietnam and the Vietnamese as an enemy for ancient reasons (and still relevant geopolitical reasons), as well as the fact that there were ideological reasons for them to align more with the Chinese (who supported them even more than Vietnam did and even personally trained Pol Pot in military, political, and ideological subjects) while Vietnam was more allied with the Soviets. P.S. For inexplicable reasons, I am incapable of editing my original comment. EDIT: I've edited the above comment to say Pol Pot started the Khmer Rouge insurgency in 1968, not that he formed the Khmer Rouge in 1968, because I just read that and I'm not what it means. I also changed it to say he fought "with" the Viet Minh, rather than "in" the Viet Minh. He actually did join the "Khmer Viet Minh", which seems to separate from the the Vietnamese Viet Minh, but was also dominated by ethnic Vietnamese. "Fought" also MIGHT not be strictly true, since he apparently was tasked with farming cassava and running a canteen.
@@Mr.Nichan One of the major reason for Khmer Rouge dislike of Vietnam (outside of historical and geopolitics) is that Vietnam doesn’t actively support it, they are more fond of the Kingdom of Cambodia (since the kingdom is quite moderate and allow VC to operate in Cambodia), they doubt Khmer Rouge will do the same thing. So Vietnam multiple times either reject or quite indirect in their support of Khmer Rouge before their take over, which pushes the Khmer Rouge in the arms of China. And yes the Sino-Soviet split also contributed to their hatred as Vietnam is loyal to the USSR.
One of the reason VN has low urbanization is the "new countryside" program, which improved living condition of VNese countryside, making it less attractive to move to big cities. This program aims at improving roads, access to education and services, reducing poverty rate and some more. It has been quite successful as most of VNese countryside have transformed, so the program's criteria have been changed to reflect the next step.
Lack of Heavy Industry limits Vietnam's development ceiling. If you stay neutral in the current Sino-American struggle, you have a strong chance of breaking into a high-mid income economy. However, if you wish to become a developed nation, it's not easy.
@@Krasnoye158 It's of ABSOLUTE IMPORTANCE you stick to it. DO NOT under ANY circumstances stand with either power. I'm Chinese but I urge you not to stand with China either. Stay neutral, support your Party, stick to Socialism and you have a solid chance of becoming a high-mid income economy. It's unlikely you'll become high income however due to lack of heavy industry. But military involvement in business is very bad, you need to stop the army from getting involved in business.
7:40 I remember watching a documentary on the Vietnam war and one thing really surprised me: A commentator said, "The Vietnam war with America was a short-phase in the greater war with China". It basically showed me that Vietnam views China as a greater existential threat than all the other countries it has gone to war with. It certainly explains why they have good relationships with the USA even despite their war.
The only reason the U.S. gone to war against what is now Vietnam. Is because the French gave the North independence and tried to maintain control of the south. Later the south would declare independence and then asked for U.S. aid against the north. It was a civil war and the U.S. only picked a side to help I don’t think any Vietnamese have problems with the U.S. but i do know that they have bigger problems such as China and U.S. aid can help them a lot. Unless the U.S. just leaves like they did in Afghanistan,
@@darth3911 well the us choose those ones who are really close to them to become the president of the south, it's not much of a civil war. But that president wants to stop the us from interventing in their stuff, that makes the situation not that good for the us since they want to take over VN as another step of wiping out communism. And then then they have to sign the Paris agreement to withdraw all their troop and they just leave and the south side rely on them too much so they fell 2 years later. The us still not giving up tho:), they backed some people from the south side who fled to america to go talk shit about our country and the gov. The US do hate communist don't they.
7:55 I think there is a mistake here. As far as I know, Vietnam at that time did not help or lay the foundation for the Khmer Rouge (also known as Pol Pot) that regime was created by China. The Khmer Rouge attacked villages around the Vietnamese border and brutally murdered many people. At the same time, Cambodia asked Vietnam for help, so the Vietnamese decided to attack the Khmer Rouge to end the genocidal regime and liberate Cambodia. After success, the Chinese side began to launch an attack on Vietnam but failed. Before withdrawing, China massacred all people. They also destroyed schools, hospitals, etc. At that time there was a JAPANESE REPORTER who was there to document China's crimes, but was BURNED TO BECAUSE.This evidence is verified by both Vietnam and Japan!
I am from Fujian, China. I think since Japan, Korea and China have improved a lot, there is no reason that vietnam which is also a hardworking nation won't success. Keep up working and you will be richer and stronger. Love from China. (By the way, I have a vietnamese relative, she is a kind-hearted and diligent woman. I hope I have the opportunity to travel to Vietnam in the future.)
As an citizen of the U.S.A I feel like most Americans have a real respect and interest in Vietnam. Despite fighting an unpopular war there and many people probably having a grandpa or a great uncle or something that might have fought. The average American feels very ashamed of that war, and has real admiration for the fighting spirit of the Vietnamese people. I hope Vietnam grows better and better in the future and that I can visit someday.
Untrue. Many Americans are proud of the fact that our country tried to defend the Republic of Vietnam from attacks by North Vietnam and the communists. The US were not the aggressors.
@@HeadsetHatGuy When the US left, South Vietnam was still an independent nation. It was our goal to keep South Vietnam free. It was only a few years AFTER the US left that South Vietnam lost against a renewed North Vietnamese offensive.
Kind of crazy how geopolitics can change so drastically in a short amount of time. If you said even 40 years ago that Vietnam would become a western ally, I think most would have said you were crazy.

I'm Argentinian 🇦🇷. I always wanted to travel to Vietnam, not only because some of our exports go there (honey, meat, etc) but also because I love the landscapes of Vietnam as well as the History of the country. I mean, beating the sh1t up of like 5 empires with just a bunch of rice farmers is something only a chad would do. I would like to try food and drinks.
It takes a lot. There is a good movie about the wartime called “smell of burning grass” that you could watch. It gives a feel of the time, just a bit too old of a movie.
One small correction at 5:00. Roughly a third of the nation's electricity comes from renewable energy sources, mostly hydroelectric plants (for instance Son La and Hoa Binh hydroelectric plant). Wind farm and solar power plant on a large scale are still relatively new concepts in Vietnam; nonetheless, there are a few newly installed ones such as Ninh Thuan wind farm and several others under construction.
@@dr.peashooter Every nuclear power plant today is surrounded by concrete. A lot of them were surrounded with concrete too before Chernobyl. Chernobyl wasn't surrounded by concrete when it exploded. I also doubt that coal plants (Vietnam's primary electricity source) polluting radioactive fumes would be any better
The two flags of Vietnam and China have nothing to do with each other. The Vietnamese flag was born before the Chinese flag. The Vietnamese flag is red of blood and yellow of skin. The five-pointed star represents the five classes of Vietnamese people at that time. And moreover, Vietnam did not build a Polpot regime, but that day, Polpot Khmer Rouge, with the help of China, blatantly sent troops to kill compatriots in the southwestern border region of Vietnam, although before that, Vietnam warned in advance. While sending troops to support in Cambodia. While losing and being pursued by the Vietnamese, Polpt's army fled to Thailand and was helped by the Thai army. The northern border of Vietnam was invaded by Chinese troops from 1979-1989 and then ceased fire. The relationship has now been normalized.
As an Indian I highly admire the Vietnamese. I like how you defended/ freed your country from colonist powers and even China. India as a nation lost to them both. I hope we can rectify that in the future. I hope Vietnam all the best.
@@balllightning4335 Well it's more like Vietnam has had expereience against invaders for a long time. The Indians has had Tibet, a natural mountianous country as their shield against Chinese expansions for millenias. Up until the fall of Tibet in 20th century, India has had to only defend themselves against their western neighbours.
@@balllightning4335 the only difference here is the skin color due to the different weather in the two regions. in fact, they are still Vietnamese. due to the gradual migration to the south a few hundred years ago.
@@balllightning4335 South Vietnamese looks like South east asian because the old Dai Viet Empire invaded and took over Champa, an old civilization closer to the Siam than Han chinese. The north looks closer to East asian because during 100 AD, Vietnam was conquered by China, and in an effort to subjugate Vietnamese people, the Chinese import the men as workers while deporting their own officers and men to mate with Vietnamese women. The OG Vietnamese had darker skin colour, longer hair and like dying their teeth black, all practices that was lost during the Chinese occupation due to Chinese culture being imported and Chinese standard of beauty and Chinese characteristic in occupied Vietnam. The reason Vietnamese Kinh people are the majority now is because during the 15th century, there was an effort to clear the old Champa lands to the South and various lords and settlers set out. Along with Chinese refugee from the fall of one their Dynasties, creating the Chinese-Vietnamese people who has culture closer to the Champ Vietnamese than Han Chinese.
The one major issue that Vietnam faces (other then China) is it's pollution. If they are to become a regional power, then they need to address that problem.
Don't worry, Vietnamese government have promised to reduce pollution to zero in 2050 and the project is efficiently programming right now as more renewable sources become Vietnam main energy reserves.
@@nict5828 Vietnam becomes the 10th largest solar energy producer in the world and the only country in Asia where the increase in electricity from the sun exceeds the additional electricity demand in 2021. Vietnam, along with the Netherlands and Australia, are three countries that have shifted more than 8% of their total electricity demand from fossil sources to wind and solar power in just the past two years.
I'm Vietnamese. I went to Germany to study. I bought a fancy jacket as a gift to my dad when I went home on vacation. He unwrapped it and there was a "Made in Vietnam" tag on it which I never even noticed. Imagine my shame.
10:01 As a vietnamese I must say: We can be used to it BUT that doesn't means that the people is used to it, and not only that, going war with China will only cost thousands of deaths and casualties.
Chinas long term goal is to annex all lands from all former Chinese dynasties Unfortunately Vietnam will have to fight against China question is when will it happen,
@@darth3911 It actually happened in 1979. In fact, not a single Vietnamese feudal dynasty did not suffer at least one Chinese invasion. Today, China still illegally occupies the Paracel Islands of Vietnam. We always try to maintain peace and friendship with China, but we are also ready to face any challenge if it comes.
Fun fact, a lot of soldiers of the french army during the war against the vietcongs were former german soldier (a lot of ss). They got into the foreign legion to escape the justice because the legion accepted all people even with criminal past.
There were also Japanese soilder who join the NVA to escape going to court for their war crime. Some join Vietnam to fight western country because Japan surrender.
@@giaopx wow I have never considered that before, I bet Korean war would have been similar? Some Japanese soldiers going and fighting against the USA..
You should’ve gone a little further into the complete devastation of Vietnam and how there wasn’t a ton of money left for them in Comecon. I know you have to keep these vs the future videos short but it’s important historical info!
I always appreciate the people who makes more content about Viet Nam. As a Vietnamese, I could not be more thankful for this video. With this video and I believe thousands of more out there, you guys are helping us to get the recognization that we always need. Every time I saw a video of a Western person or anyone that makes video abt Viet Nam, the vietnamese, I feel really happy because now more and more people is getting a different view of our country. Thank you so much for this video 💞💞💞
Man I am Vietnamese and visiting Poland is one of the things I must do be4 I die, I watch many movies about the Poles in wars and you guys are just like us, we constantly fight against invaders. Hope to see you in Warsaw soon.
I was born and raised in the U.S. I love Vietnam and its people with all my heart. I am doing well in life and have a huge urge to go to Vietnam to live. I am in the process of getting my Vietnamese citizenship, and hopefully live there and help contribute to the local economy, and eventually help the people in need through volunteer work. I think it is natural for Vietnamese to be very proud of who we are and to fight for our brother and sisters.
In Vietnam we also use the Alphabet in our language. It helps tremendously when the country opened up because Western education became extremely accessible. English centres and International schools are lucrative businesses in Vietnam and many kids born after the 2010 are bilingual.
@@guydreamryea, I'm vietnamese myself and my second language is french, then english. I know how to speak viet but didn't learn how to read and write(in viet), but I can read some vietnamese words cuz it's latin. But a french person would still have a difficult time learning viet due to the accent which isn't an issue for me.
That makes little sense, the romanticisation doesnt really make Vietnamese easier to learn. It’s like learning chinese in only the pinyin system(skip the writting system), it makes no sense coz it’s a different language for the foreigners(grammar, structure, composition and relativity to the English language)
I have a feeling Vietnam will become the next South Korea. The thing with Asian nations is that when they grow economically, they GROW. Asian nations prioritze education and economic development and it shows.
Vietnam's economy is like a castle built on sand. Money printing, real estate bubble, stock market is dominated by government collusion enterprises and especially poor public administration. A bleak picture.
Vietnam totally stands to gain from globalization. Poorer countries get a humongous part of global manufacturing which tends to harm the biggest economies but tremendously upgrade the poorer ones. This is a good time for Vietnam which will probably not last for a long time, so spend the best of it!
We already know it's temporary, the true purpose is to gain and produce technologies and increase the quality and modernity of the dosmetic products, Make in Vietnam products. That is the true way to become more developed longer in the future.
@@angkhoanguyen6114 that's true! Hoping for the best in the future for all Southeast Asian countries. For me as a European, Southeast Asia has every capacity to become a prosperous beacon of democracy in the East.
The goverment is concentrating on improving the countryside too along with cheaper prices all along which means they don't really need to move to cities. Thus, a lot of factories are situated in the countryside ( lower price) so we are bringing in a more balanced approach so that the citieswont be overcrowded and ppl can sustain themselves with the amenities
7:55 a big mistake, quite the contrary, China nurtured Polpot, then America, Thai Lam, Singapore supported them. Polpol tattooed his comb and massacred the Vietnamese. Vietnam over-attacked Polpot at the request of Cambodia for help and rescued the Cambodian people
As a Filipino, I deeply admire the courage and resiliency of our ASEAN brother Vietnam. Throughout their history, they have valiantly fought against powerful forces like the French, Japanese, USA, and China, and successfully gained their independence. In contrast, we Filipinos have struggled to achieve the same level of success, particularly during the Spanish, Japanese, and American occupations, due to our internal divisions and lack of unity. Our society's emphasis on putting family first has also hindered our progress not just towards independence but development
I think that's why Ho Chi Minh started communism(communism and capitalism are both designed to be a temporary system for transition of a society, not a permanent one) in order to unify people. During hard time in history, people think more about survival and are more vulnerable/stressed. So people also unify on 1 firm belief tomove forward in hard times. It's easier to make people follow simple things, but the same concept can also apply to stereotypes and lies just like the strategy of the nazi: if you want to lie, make it short, make it a big lie, then repeat it until people believe. Kind of like what's going on with some asian stereotypes portrayed as unmanly/unreliable and it started since the 1800s but no one mention it in history just like the war crimes american soldiers commited. But everyone did bad, it's just that I don't like one of them is allowed to hide due to their media at the time. In summary, the mass is very simple minded so it's easy to lie but also the mass seek simple and firm ideology during hard times to move in pack.
The biggest Irony of the Philippines is that they broke away from the US at the worst possible time for their future. They could've possibly developed into the major SEA powerhouse just like Japan and Korea up north. Quite possibly becoming richer than any current US state or territory before officially declaring independence. The positives and negatives that come from having full support of the richest nation on earth can change a lot about history.
@@SuperCatacata Well they prefer the term rather their country by ruin by a dictatorship rather than be subject and economically relied on foreign power far away from them. If they fall it their own fault. Either way it their country what they do it their decision. Even if it damm their country.
as a vietnamese person, i really want to say thank you to you for talking abt our country in your video. I hope you will gain success in your youtube journey! thank you ..

"Is Vietnam the Next Economic Power?". I think the right question should be "when" :3 After about 50 years of constant wars, Vietnam had a precious time of peace to rebuild and develop. Countries that support Vietnam, those who have economic cooperation relations and share political interests with Vietnam will be very relieved to see their "allies" have a strong place in the regional and world economic/geopolitical map. Countries that confront Vietnam, on the other hand, should feel scared now. Golden Dragon Storm is rising!
I started to like Vietnam early last year when i discovered the Best Ever Food Review Show. In fact i already memorize the OneTrip Vietnam outro "including Hanoi, Na Chang, Danang, Nguyen, and Saigon. 😂😂 Greetings from the Philippines. 🇵🇭
@@MinecraftGuy237 I see countries in terms of gender. I.e. Germany = Male / USA = Male / Russia= Male And I characterize most Asian countries as Female/Feminine. (I.e. China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore) So when I make a wish for Vietnam and prefer to it as a "she". It also applies to the Male Inhabitants. There are only a few of my Asian Sibling countries that I refer to as male. (I.e. Mongolia, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, Brunei, North Korea)
I pray Vietnam becomes more powerful and prosperous over time! A people that have been a problem for China and other great powers over time is enough to justify their greatness. I would love to visit Vietnam and get to know more about their history and culture.🙏🇻🇳

As a Vietnamese person, I must say: We always want to be friends with everyone around the world, BUT it doesn't mean that we forget our own past. We always stand for what is right and desire peace. Although my country may not be the richest, we are always proud of our homeland because of our ongoing struggle for freedom and self-determination.
ty for the vid abt my country, appreciate it. I do want to point out that map you use on Vietnamese EEZ lines is incorrect, so is almost all maps on Vietnam SCS claims. Vietnam did not ever draw out an offical claims map in its entirety like China’s nine dash line official claims. Most of the map shown Vietnam EEZ includes the Pratas Islands (Dongsha Atoll), which only Taiwan & China claim. To all fairness, Vietnam claims 200 nautical miles from mainland + Hoàng Sa & Trường Sa Archipelagos yet the exact boundary is blur if not none. Can’t blame you for it however, you can’t really make an accurate map on something VNese government never made official and decided upon. Other than that and Khmer Rouge, great informative and positive video.
5:00 and 5:49 You are correct. But before/during COVID-19, the real-estate service are also on the rise and continuing to rise in the future. The people begin to left the manufacturing and service sector to trade, speculation and sell land for profit, this is bad for the economy and the goverment is not do something about it yet.
I'd do the maghreb as a whole, that region can only suceed if it works together. Linking their transport networks, maybe having a common travel area and market.
Trò chơi chiến tranh? Giết người?. chúng tôi yêu chuộng hòa bình. Độc lập Tự do cho dân tộc chúng tôi. chúng tôi ko muốn gây hại cho bất kỳ quốc gia nào. yêu chuộng hòa bình là điều người Việt nam hướng đến
"Farming, Fishing, Mining" One does not a superpower make through raw material extraction alone. Made in Vietnam > Mined in Vietnam if they're going to get very far economic development wise.
Good video but a correction here. Vietnam DID NOT set up the Khmer Rouge in 1979. They fought against it. Sure they did train them during the 60s and 70s, but after the fall of Saigon and the Sino-Soviet split, Vietnam took side with the USSR and were against the Khmer Rouge, creating what is a puppet government in 1979 up until 1989 when they withdrew their troops form Cambodian soil.
Your video has failed to mention that Climate change is devastating to Vietnam as its lengthy coast will be a perfect target for monstrous typhoons and storm surges. (Sorry, our sea dike systems have failed us many times, enough to consider them as an instant, one-time use solution) Also the current run-away drought - soil salination and repeat of Mekong Delta will persist and worsen in the future when Mekong River is running out of fresh water and the temperature climbs up enough to evaporate the water reserves. Hence, Climate change will delay our economic growth significantly and with predictions of half of Mekong Delta being rendered unable to cultivate around 2050-2060, our future is less certain and increasingly hostile.
Im from the Philippines, dont worry, we'll take the worst of any storm before it ever gets to your coast! Hahahaha! I'm just making light of it, but that's the sad reality of my country. Sigh!
Relying on manufacturing can only bring a country to a certain level but not to the high income level. Malaysia also relied on manufacturing before but manufacturing companies tend to leave once the cost of doing business gets more expensive. They will transfer to a country with lower cost of doing business. As a result, Malaysia got stuck in the middle income level and unable to get out of it.
Vietnam also has a bright future because it’s birth rate is far higher than China’s meaning they will have a massive young population to keep them going!
I think it was already stated in the comments, but yes. Vietnam overthrew the China-sponsored Khmer Rouge. And installed the not-so-murderous Democratic Kampuchea (still Communist) while fending off the Chinese. And the USA, for all the intense fighting from the 60s-70s, was an interlude of sorts. Lots of love to Vietnam, from your Catholic cousins across the pond to your east.
Sure, in case of a confrontation between China and Vietnam, the Vietnamese should be very attentive to what their ´´ally´´ USA would do, something similar to the disaster they left in Afghanistan.
The experience Vietnam had with China and USA will result in trying not to be too close to both sides. Vietnam needs a reliable ally, in case tension with China becomes a real problem. Russia is no longer the superpower it used to be, so the USA is the only reasonable choice left. Of course, hanging out with America is like playing with fire: fire can keep you warm and burn your house.

The Mongols' tactics, of swift attacks with horsemen, are useful in open battlefields, hence they formed in the Asian Steppe, but are useless in the jungles and mountains of Vietnam. The U.S. was thwarted by low public support, ineffectiveness of tactics in Nam, and soldiers untrained to jungle guerilla warfare. This leaves China, who controlled northern Vietnam many times, and is still the major threat to Vietnam, as it is much better suited for attack. It is next to their populated coast, due to a strong navy, a massive army, and population to match, next to the Northern population centers, and influence in southeast Asia, who may want to get land from Vietnam.

Good luck to Vietnam. After America, France and China all trying to colonise them,they deserve a good future. And after they liberated Laos from an evil government they will use that economic might better and more responsibly than any other nation 🇬🇧❤️🇻🇳
The U.S tried to liberate both Vietnam and Korea. Unfortunately, while the South of Vietnam was liberated by communists, the South of Korea wasn't. How sad! Liberate the South! GO KIM FAMILY AND THE NORTH!
The Vietnamese Dong is surprisingly growing, and becoming more valuable. The average Vietnamese citizen gets around 66,676,208.20 Vietnamese Dongs per year.
I'm surprised you didn't mention trade tariffs resulting in technical bypasses, such as using Vietnam to assemble products made mostly in China to get around the tax
On point. Chinese companies are getting around the sanctions by going through Vietnam with Made In Vietnam label. Vietnamese government needs to stand strong and joins Western ally to counter the imperialist CCP.
Do a breakdown for europe's geography as a whole please. Include Russia if you wish. There are so many new infrastructure projects, bridging straits and tearing through mountains.
Great video! It's important to note there was an American Embargo on Vietnam until 1994. Making international trade with wealthy nations nearly impossible until afterwards
Remember, in Vietnam the people said "Welcome to the rice fields mf". This is why America, Mongols and Chinese failed to conquer Vietnam. (To all Vietnamese, congratulations on holding your land for so long.)
Vietnam is not an American ally. Vietnam does its own thing. They have normalized relations with both China and America, and thus get the greatest advantage by playing both sides.

Many Vietnamese people I know echo the same sentiments. French colonization lasted 80 ish years, Japanese rule lasted 3-4 years, Vietnam War lasted 20 years, and all of that pales into comparison with the amount of lives lost to war, oppression, exploitation, and threats that China has done to Vietnam and its people for the past 2000 years
7:55 DUDE, YOU HAVE THAT HISTORY TOTALLY BACKWARDS!!! The Khmer Rouge was NOT set up by Vietnam. It was backed more by China, the U.S.A., and Thailand, and actually invaded Vietnam (allied more with the Soviet union), which led to Vietnam retaliatorily invading Cambodia and deposing the Khmer Rouge and replacing it with another Soviet-aligned (and much less murderous) regime. China invaded Vietnam in retaliation because Vietnam DEPOSED the Khmer Rouge, WHICH WAS A CHINESE ALLY.
I really think you should fix this issue, it’s quite an important detail
Thank you!
@@pollbun7490 yeah it’s kind of like name explain saying Jackwees
Actually, it seems that Vietnam/North Vietnam and the Viet Cong did support the Khmer Rouge BEFORE they won and took over Cambodia. This makes sense since both were communists fighting against non-communists and Pol Pot fought the French with the Viet Minh in 1953-1954 before leading the 1968 Khmer Rouge insurgency against the Kingdom of Cambodia and U.S.-backed Republic of Cambodia. I presume the Khmer Rouge also helped the Viet Cong, since it's well known that the Viet Cong operated in Cambodia. Thus, there was a very pragmatic reason for the alliance as well as an ideological one.
Unfortunately for Vietnam, the Khmer Rouge turned out to be very fascist as well as very communist, and viewed Vietnam and the Vietnamese as an enemy for ancient reasons (and still relevant geopolitical reasons), as well as the fact that there were ideological reasons for them to align more with the Chinese (who supported them even more than Vietnam did and even personally trained Pol Pot in military, political, and ideological subjects) while Vietnam was more allied with the Soviets.
P.S. For inexplicable reasons, I am incapable of editing my original comment.
EDIT: I've edited the above comment to say Pol Pot started the Khmer Rouge insurgency in 1968, not that he formed the Khmer Rouge in 1968, because I just read that and I'm not what it means. I also changed it to say he fought "with" the Viet Minh, rather than "in" the Viet Minh. He actually did join the "Khmer Viet Minh", which seems to separate from the the Vietnamese Viet Minh, but was also dominated by ethnic Vietnamese. "Fought" also MIGHT not be strictly true, since he apparently was tasked with farming cassava and running a canteen.
@@Mr.Nichan One of the major reason for Khmer Rouge dislike of Vietnam (outside of historical and geopolitics) is that Vietnam doesn’t actively support it, they are more fond of the Kingdom of Cambodia (since the kingdom is quite moderate and allow VC to operate in Cambodia), they doubt Khmer Rouge will do the same thing. So Vietnam multiple times either reject or quite indirect in their support of Khmer Rouge before their take over, which pushes the Khmer Rouge in the arms of China. And yes the Sino-Soviet split also contributed to their hatred as Vietnam is loyal to the USSR.
One of the reason VN has low urbanization is the "new countryside" program, which improved living condition of VNese countryside, making it less attractive to move to big cities.

Lack of Heavy Industry limits Vietnam's development ceiling. If you stay neutral in the current Sino-American struggle, you have a strong chance of breaking into a high-mid income economy. However, if you wish to become a developed nation, it's not easy.
@@tianwong152 staying neutral is what VN has been trying to do.
@@Krasnoye158 It's of ABSOLUTE IMPORTANCE you stick to it. DO NOT under ANY circumstances stand with either power. I'm Chinese but I urge you not to stand with China either. Stay neutral, support your Party, stick to Socialism and you have a solid chance of becoming a high-mid income economy. It's unlikely you'll become high income however due to lack of heavy industry. But military involvement in business is very bad, you need to stop the army from getting involved in business.

7:40 I remember watching a documentary on the Vietnam war and one thing really surprised me: A commentator said, "The Vietnam war with America was a short-phase in the greater war with China". It basically showed me that Vietnam views China as a greater existential threat than all the other countries it has gone to war with. It certainly explains why they have good relationships with the USA even despite their war.
The only reason the U.S. gone to war against what is now Vietnam.
Is because the French gave the North independence and tried to maintain control of the south.
Later the south would declare independence and then asked for U.S. aid against the north.
It was a civil war and the U.S. only picked a side to help I don’t think any Vietnamese have problems
with the U.S. but i do know that they have bigger problems such as China and U.S. aid can help them a lot.
Unless the U.S. just leaves like they did in Afghanistan,
@@darth3911 Thanks for further explaining, friend.
USA only war with us for 20-30 years but China war with us 1000 years, so u know who is the real threat. And now, they still want our land
@@darth3911 well the us choose those ones who are really close to them to become the president of the south, it's not much of a civil war. But that president wants to stop the us from interventing in their stuff, that makes the situation not that good for the us since they want to take over VN as another step of wiping out communism. And then then they have to sign the Paris agreement to withdraw all their troop and they just leave and the south side rely on them too much so they fell 2 years later. The us still not giving up tho:), they backed some people from the south side who fled to america to go talk shit about our country and the gov. The US do hate communist don't they.
Hoa Kỳ là đối thủ danh dự, Trung Quốc là đối thủ truyền kiếp, chúng tôi đã có những xung đột cả 1000 năm.
7:55 I think there is a mistake here. As far as I know, Vietnam at that time did not help or lay the foundation for the Khmer Rouge (also known as Pol Pot) that regime was created by China. The Khmer Rouge attacked villages around the Vietnamese border and brutally murdered many people. At the same time, Cambodia asked Vietnam for help, so the Vietnamese decided to attack the Khmer Rouge to end the genocidal regime and liberate Cambodia. After success, the Chinese side began to launch an attack on Vietnam but failed. Before withdrawing, China massacred all people. They also destroyed schools, hospitals, etc. At that time there was a JAPANESE REPORTER who was there to document China's crimes, but was BURNED TO BECAUSE.This evidence is verified by both Vietnam and Japan!

As an citizen of the U.S.A I feel like most Americans have a real respect and interest in Vietnam. Despite fighting an unpopular war there and many people probably having a grandpa or a great uncle or something that might have fought. The average American feels very ashamed of that war, and has real admiration for the fighting spirit of the Vietnamese people. I hope Vietnam grows better and better in the future and that I can visit someday.
Untrue. Many Americans are proud of the fact that our country tried to defend the Republic of Vietnam from attacks by North Vietnam and the communists. The US were not the aggressors.

It takes a lot. There is a good movie about the wartime called “smell of burning grass” that you could watch. It gives a feel of the time, just a bit too old of a movie.
One small correction at 5:00. Roughly a third of the nation's electricity comes from renewable energy sources, mostly hydroelectric plants (for instance Son La and Hoa Binh hydroelectric plant). Wind farm and solar power plant on a large scale are still relatively new concepts in Vietnam; nonetheless, there are a few newly installed ones such as Ninh Thuan wind farm and several others under construction.
I am also pretty sure Ninh Thuan is the proposed site for the nuclear power plant, but sadly it didn't push through...
What a bummer
@@hamanakohamaneko7028 well we don't want any nuclear accident, just look at chernobyl
@@dr.peashooter Every nuclear power plant today is surrounded by concrete. A lot of them were surrounded with concrete too before Chernobyl. Chernobyl wasn't surrounded by concrete when it exploded. I also doubt that coal plants (Vietnam's primary electricity source) polluting radioactive fumes would be any better
@@dr.peashooter nuclear energy is safer than oil, coil, etc.
Indeed, hydroelectricity plays a significant role in our economy.
The two flags of Vietnam and China have nothing to do with each other. The Vietnamese flag was born before the Chinese flag.
The Vietnamese flag is red of blood and yellow of skin. The five-pointed star represents the five classes of Vietnamese people at that time.
And moreover, Vietnam did not build a Polpot regime, but that day, Polpot Khmer Rouge, with the help of China, blatantly sent troops to kill compatriots in the southwestern border region of Vietnam, although before that, Vietnam warned in advance.
While sending troops to support in Cambodia. While losing and being pursued by the Vietnamese, Polpt's army fled to Thailand and was helped by the Thai army. The northern border of Vietnam was invaded by Chinese troops from 1979-1989 and then ceased fire.
The relationship has now been normalized.
Nice one.
No mention of increasing trade ties between Vietnam and Japan. Also Vietnam and India.
The country is doing well, all credit to them.

@@balllightning4335 Well it's more like Vietnam has had expereience against invaders for a long time. The Indians has had Tibet, a natural mountianous country as their shield against Chinese expansions for millenias. Up until the fall of Tibet in 20th century, India has had to only defend themselves against their western neighbours.
@@balllightning4335 the only difference here is the skin color due to the different weather in the two regions. in fact, they are still Vietnamese. due to the gradual migration to the south a few hundred years ago.
@@balllightning4335 South Vietnamese looks like South east asian because the old Dai Viet Empire invaded and took over Champa, an old civilization closer to the Siam than Han chinese. The north looks closer to East asian because during 100 AD, Vietnam was conquered by China, and in an effort to subjugate Vietnamese people, the Chinese import the men as workers while deporting their own officers and men to mate with Vietnamese women. The OG Vietnamese had darker skin colour, longer hair and like dying their teeth black, all practices that was lost during the Chinese occupation due to Chinese culture being imported and Chinese standard of beauty and Chinese characteristic in occupied Vietnam.
The reason Vietnamese Kinh people are the majority now is because during the 15th century, there was an effort to clear the old Champa lands to the South and various lords and settlers set out. Along with Chinese refugee from the fall of one their Dynasties, creating the Chinese-Vietnamese people who has culture closer to the Champ Vietnamese than Han Chinese.
The one major issue that Vietnam faces (other then China) is it's pollution.
If they are to become a regional power, then they need to address that problem.
Don't worry, Vietnamese government have promised to reduce pollution to zero in 2050 and the project is efficiently programming right now as more renewable sources become Vietnam main energy reserves.
@@angkhoanguyen6114 Hahaha joke
@@nict5828 Vietnam becomes the 10th largest solar energy producer in the world and the only country in Asia where the increase in electricity from the sun exceeds the additional electricity demand in 2021.

In Vietnam we also use the Alphabet in our language. It helps tremendously when the country opened up because Western education became extremely accessible. English centres and International schools are lucrative businesses in Vietnam and many kids born after the 2010 are bilingual.

Vietnam is still surprising the world with it achievements as a Vietnamese I am proud of my country
As a Filipino, I deeply admire the courage and resiliency of our ASEAN brother Vietnam. Throughout their history, they have valiantly fought against powerful forces like the French, Japanese, USA, and China, and successfully gained their independence. In contrast, we Filipinos have struggled to achieve the same level of success, particularly during the Spanish, Japanese, and American occupations, due to our internal divisions and lack of unity. Our society's emphasis on putting family first has also hindered our progress not just towards independence but development
I think that's why Ho Chi Minh started communism(communism and capitalism are both designed to be a temporary system for transition of a society, not a permanent one) in order to unify people.
During hard time in history, people think more about survival and are more vulnerable/stressed. So people also unify on 1 firm belief tomove forward in hard times.
It's easier to make people follow simple things, but the same concept can also apply to stereotypes and lies just like the strategy of the nazi: if you want to lie, make it short, make it a big lie, then repeat it until people believe. Kind of like what's going on with some asian stereotypes portrayed as unmanly/unreliable and it started since the 1800s but no one mention it in history just like the war crimes american soldiers commited. But everyone did bad, it's just that I don't like one of them is allowed to hide due to their media at the time.
In summary, the mass is very simple minded so it's easy to lie but also the mass seek simple and firm ideology during hard times to move in pack.
The biggest Irony of the Philippines is that they broke away from the US at the worst possible time for their future.
They could've possibly developed into the major SEA powerhouse just like Japan and Korea up north. Quite possibly becoming richer than any current US state or territory before officially declaring independence. The positives and negatives that come from having full support of the richest nation on earth can change a lot about history.

"Is Vietnam the Next Economic Power?". I think the right question should be "when" :3
After about 50 years of constant wars, Vietnam had a precious time of peace to rebuild and develop. Countries that support Vietnam, those who have economic cooperation relations and share political interests with Vietnam will be very relieved to see their "allies" have a strong place in the regional and world economic/geopolitical map.
Countries that confront Vietnam, on the other hand, should feel scared now. Golden Dragon Storm is rising!

ty for the vid abt my country, appreciate it.
I do want to point out that map you use on Vietnamese EEZ lines is incorrect, so is almost all maps on Vietnam SCS claims. Vietnam did not ever draw out an offical claims map in its entirety like China’s nine dash line official claims. Most of the map shown Vietnam EEZ includes the Pratas Islands (Dongsha Atoll), which only Taiwan & China claim.
To all fairness, Vietnam claims 200 nautical miles from mainland + Hoàng Sa & Trường Sa Archipelagos yet the exact boundary is blur if not none.
Can’t blame you for it however, you can’t really make an accurate map on something VNese government never made official and decided upon.
Other than that and Khmer Rouge, great informative and positive video.
5:00 and 5:49 You are correct. But before/during COVID-19, the real-estate service are also on the rise and continuing to rise in the future.

Good video but a correction here. Vietnam DID NOT set up the Khmer Rouge in 1979. They fought against it. Sure they did train them during the 60s and 70s, but after the fall of Saigon and the Sino-Soviet split, Vietnam took side with the USSR and were against the Khmer Rouge, creating what is a puppet government in 1979 up until 1989 when they withdrew their troops form Cambodian soil.
Your video has failed to mention that Climate change is devastating to Vietnam as its lengthy coast will be a perfect target for monstrous typhoons and storm surges. (Sorry, our sea dike systems have failed us many times, enough to consider them as an instant, one-time use solution) Also the current run-away drought - soil salination and repeat of Mekong Delta will persist and worsen in the future when Mekong River is running out of fresh water and the temperature climbs up enough to evaporate the water reserves. Hence, Climate change will delay our economic growth significantly and with predictions of half of Mekong Delta being rendered unable to cultivate around 2050-2060, our future is less certain and increasingly hostile.

Relying on manufacturing can only bring a country to a certain level but not to the high income level. Malaysia also relied on manufacturing before but manufacturing companies tend to leave once the cost of doing business gets more expensive. They will transfer to a country with lower cost of doing business. As a result, Malaysia got stuck in the middle income level and unable to get out of it.
Vietnam also has a bright future because it’s birth rate is far higher than China’s meaning they will have a massive young population to keep them going!
I think it was already stated in the comments, but yes. Vietnam overthrew the China-sponsored Khmer Rouge. And installed the not-so-murderous Democratic Kampuchea (still Communist) while fending off the Chinese. And the USA, for all the intense fighting from the 60s-70s, was an interlude of sorts.
Lots of love to Vietnam, from your Catholic cousins across the pond to your east.
Sure, in case of a confrontation between China and Vietnam, the Vietnamese should be very attentive to what their ´´ally´´ USA would do, something similar to the disaster they left in Afghanistan.
yes if that happens we understand that no one can be completely trusted, any country is only for its own benefit
The lesson of South Vietnam is hard to forget. Leaders of Vietnam today and future are sure to remember.
Vietnam isn't even remotely similar to Afghanistan, there is no coherent Afghan identity from which to carve out a nation state.
Afghanistan wasn't a US ally, they were mere puppet like Republic of Vietnam, they never lived long
The experience Vietnam had with China and USA will result in trying not to be too close to both sides. Vietnam needs a reliable ally, in case tension with China becomes a real problem. Russia is no longer the superpower it used to be, so the USA is the only reasonable choice left. Of course, hanging out with America is like playing with fire: fire can keep you warm and burn your house.
That's insane!
My grandma and granddad used to tell me that they made 214(USD) combined per month
now my family makes 1758 USD per month
although low to other nations
but that is a really big change
That’s called inflation
@@lam-mr8pb Lol, sure. Some of it is. But the standard of living has increased significantly for the average Vietnamese these last 30 years.
@@lam-mr8pb inflation in vietnam is quiet low bro.
Do A Norway vs the future Please I beg of you It will be a great and fun video to produce, I bet you didn't know that there's a native tribe of people in northern Norway called the Sami
As a Filipino, I'm deeply envious of the progress Vietnam has made since 1986. Y'all literally got ravaged by a civil war for decades, and will still surpass us in the coming years. Wish we had a leader like Uncle Hồ!
The Mongols' tactics, of swift attacks with horsemen, are useful in open battlefields, hence they formed in the Asian Steppe, but are useless in the jungles and mountains of Vietnam. The U.S. was thwarted by low public support, ineffectiveness of tactics in Nam, and soldiers untrained to jungle guerilla warfare. This leaves China, who controlled northern Vietnam many times, and is still the major threat to Vietnam, as it is much better suited for attack. It is next to their populated coast, due to a strong navy, a massive army, and population to match, next to the Northern population centers, and influence in southeast Asia, who may want to get land from Vietnam.
Nono only the islands since now if they can get those islands they got the whole SEA under their rule
Can you do Ukraine vs The Future next pls?
To be or not to be Russia's meal ? So goes the question.
@@meneither3834 Probably just another prey for the bear
That Vietnamese ball is soo cute.
They’re called countryballs if you want to see more
So... wanna see my ball ??
As a Vietnamese I want us to grow immensely
Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều vì đã làm video này, cho dù có vài phần hơi... sai chút về vấn đề biển đông nhưng cũng đã giúp tôi và các bạn bè nước khác biết hơn về đất nước chúng tôi💖
Ah~~ I'm Vietnamese but really enjoy and get to know new information from this video. Thank you so much.
New h0ser video!
Love this channel!
Ah Vietnam... One of the great Asian Tigers
❤🇻🇳🇰🇷🇹🇼🇯🇵🇸🇬🇲🇾🇭🇰
0:04 the 1979 fight with the chinese was an ez dub fr
Good luck to Vietnam.
After America, France and China all trying to colonise them,they deserve a good future.
And after they liberated Laos from an evil government they will use that economic might better and more responsibly than any other nation
🇬🇧❤️🇻🇳
Cảm ơn bạn, tình yêu từ Việt Nam 🇻🇳❤️🇬🇧
America wasn’t trying to colonize them
The U.S tried to liberate both Vietnam and Korea. Unfortunately, while the South of Vietnam was liberated by communists, the South of Korea wasn't. How sad! Liberate the South! GO KIM FAMILY AND THE NORTH!
The Vietnamese Dong is surprisingly growing, and becoming more valuable. The average Vietnamese citizen gets around 66,676,208.20 Vietnamese Dongs per year.
Love it as always!
I'm surprised you didn't mention trade tariffs resulting in technical bypasses, such as using Vietnam to assemble products made mostly in China to get around the tax
On point. Chinese companies are getting around the sanctions by going through Vietnam with Made In Vietnam label. Vietnamese government needs to stand strong and joins Western ally to counter the imperialist CCP.
Hello to all of you Vietnamese, have a nice day. Love from your neighbor, Philippines.
As a vietnamese i can say that this is very true , aslo most normal vietnamese like it better if they are living in the countryside
"Most people avoid this problem by physically avoiding it."
Great. Just great.
I'm Bangladeshi.
And i love Vietnam☺️☺️🙃🙃🇧🇩❤️
Do a breakdown for europe's geography as a whole please. Include Russia if you wish. There are so many new infrastructure projects, bridging straits and tearing through mountains.
"Oh Vietnam. If you're American, French or Chinese, you might remember it as the place your Grandpa fought in, and lost." Am French, can confirm.
Great video! It's important to note there was an American Embargo on Vietnam until 1994. Making international trade with wealthy nations nearly impossible until afterwards
Remember, in Vietnam the people said "Welcome to the rice fields mf". This is why America, Mongols and Chinese failed to conquer Vietnam.
(To all Vietnamese, congratulations on holding your land for so long.)
Vietnam is not an American ally. Vietnam does its own thing. They have normalized relations with both China and America, and thus get the greatest advantage by playing both sides.
H0ser you are my role model
I know
@@h0ser and I'm your role model. Hoser.
he is my daddy if know what i mean 😏
Hi i a Vietnamese thank you for make this video 🇻🇳 🤝 🇺🇸

When I become The President of the Republic of South Africa one day,I want to build extremely good diplomatic,economic and military relations with Vietnam. I love Vietnam 💛❤️,I want to visit the country one day and learn Vietnamese martial arts before l get into politics
Chào mừng bạn đến với Vietnam
0:46 excuse me? South China sea?
0:02 if your grandpa is south Vietnamese he would’ve also probably fought there
My dad fought in the war when he was 12yrs old. Got shot in the head,bullet ricocheted off his helmet n bounced off. Got shot in the leg n bullet went straight through in 1 side,out the other. N got blown back by a grenade n sprayed by shrapnel. N he still managed to keep his position n fight on until the attacking army of the North retreated.
@@philipsmi-lenguyen8155 hopefully he survived, my grandfather was shot in the leg and he survived then he was given the role of ceo of the waterboard (im not sure if he actually became ceo as I can’t find any records but if he was, the records were most likely destroyed)
Bless the Vietnamese and their progress from 🇬🇧
Many Vietnamese people I know echo the same sentiments. French colonization lasted 80 ish years, Japanese rule lasted 3-4 years, Vietnam War lasted 20 years, and all of that pales into comparison with the amount of lives lost to war, oppression, exploitation, and threats that China has done to Vietnam and its people for the past 2000 years
