jan 1, 1978 - Third indo-China war

Description:

(1978-1991) Also, known ar as second cambodian civil war
was a series of interconnected armed conflicts, mainly among the various communist factions over strategic influence in Indochina after peace between the United States and North Vietnam had been concluded in January 1973.[3] The complete American withdrawal instantaneously eliminated the principal and common adversary of all the communist powers.[4] Ever more diverging Chinese and Soviet strategic and political doctrines had increased the Sino-Soviet split of the mid-1950s. The local communist regimes of Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos pledged allegiance with one of these two opposing factions. The ensuing hostilities were fuelled by century-old animosities between Vietnam and Cambodia, and - particularly - Vietnam and China.
