The Democratic Republic of Vietnam (abbreviated DRV, and unofficially known as North Vietnam) was a people’s republic in Asia that existed from 1945 to 1975. It was succeeded by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Politics
Military
The DRV’s force defence consisted of forces such as the Vietcong (VC) and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA). The Vietcong was low-budget and technologically unsophisticated, but survived the U.S.’s military with tactics such as digging and using multitudes of tunnels. While the DRV’s numbers were decimated after the ill-advised Tet Offensive, it helped win them the war in the long-term by demoralizing the enemy’s homefront.
Economy
Land reform programs resulted in the end of feudalism’s remnants, and improved economic conditions for the people. Food production also increased steadily during this reformation.[1]
Infrastructure
Health
The Democratic Republic of Vietnam achieved massive improvements in its health conditions (in contrast to the abysmal conditions that the Vietnamese lower classes suffered as a result of colonial occupation).[2]
