Category:Saigon in the Vietnam War

Saigon was the capital of the State of Vietnam. In 1954, the Geneva Agreement partitioned Vietnam along the 17th parallel. The State officially became the Republic of Vietnam in the 1955 referendum. Saigon and Cholon, an adjacent city with mostly Sino-Vietnamese residents, were combined into an administrative unit known as the Đô Thành Sài Gòn (Capital City Saigon), or Thủ đô Sài Gòn (National Capital Saigon).

During the 1968 Tet Offensive, communist forces launched a failed attempt to capture key installations in the city. On 30 April 1975, Saigon fell, ending the Vietnam War with a victory for North Vietnam.
