In 1978, why did Vietnam send 200,000 troops to attack their neighbors?

On December 25, 1978, Vietnam dispatched more than 200,000 troops to their own western neighbor, Cambodia. At that time, Vietnam called the world's third army power, Vietnam in Cambodia garrison 150,000, 50,000 troops stationed in Laos. In the number of foreign troops, Vietnam after the Soviet Union and the United States. Is a poor country in Southeast Asia, why is it going to attack Cambodia, what is the home attack Cambodia?





First, when the French established the Indo-Chinese Federation, became the dream of Vietnam

Vietnam was originally a fan of the Central Plains dynasty, the variable appeared in the late 19th century. At that time, as the sovereign of the Qing Dynasty has repeatedly been the Western powers rage. The Qing Dynasty has been unable to maintain a huge system of sovereign fan, and Britain and France and other countries began to further encroach on Southeast Asian countries. The French began to invade Vietnam in the 1880s and eventually established colonial rule in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other places. In order to facilitate the rule, France will Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia merged into the Indo-China Federation, the capital of the Indian Federation in today's Vietnamese capital Hanoi. The Indochina Federation became the dream of Vietnam later, it is estimated that the French did not expect this. France to the rule of Vietnam and other places to maintain the beginning of World War II, in World War II, because the German occupation of France, and the East of Japan took the opportunity to occupy the Vietnamese and other places. Japanese rule in Vietnam is called knocking and sucking marrow, which led to the Vietnamese people's resistance. Vietnam guerrillas began to fight with the Japanese, which is the basis of the Vietnamese army.



After the end of World War II, Vietnam is ready to build its own country, and France is ready to come back. So, the Japanese had just surrendered, the Vietnamese army had to fight with the French. But at this time Vietnam has received a lot of assistance from the northern allies, France, after all, just out of the war, its own national strength is limited. Long-term war to France unable to support, especially in the Dien Bien Phu victory, France began to gradually withdraw from Vietnam. But the United States that must contain the Soviet Union in Vietnam, otherwise it will trigger a chain reaction in Southeast Asia. In this way, the Americans replaced the French, Vietnam can only continue to fight. The war from the early 60s has been hit in the mid-70s, in 1973, the US military retreated from Vietnam. Two years later, Vietnam completed the North-South reunification. Long-term wars have led to the economic downturn in Vietnam, but also for Vietnam to provide a large number of brave and powerful army. This is the only family property in Vietnam, Vietnam is also the restoration of the Indian Federation of the backing.



Second, the Soviet Union to provide security, Vietnam decided to external expansion

If only a large number of troops, Vietnam is also unable to expand. After all, war needs to spend money, and Vietnam's national strength is very thin, simply unable to wage war. The Soviet Union, which has been supplying blood for Vietnam since the mid-1960s, has helped Vietnam to help Vietnam and become the country with the greatest aid to Vietnam. From the perspective of the Soviet Union, after the Soviet aid to Vietnam, not only can there be a foothold in Southeast Asia, but also can further export the revolution. In addition, the Soviet Union has always wanted to encroach on the Indian Ocean. The Soviet Union rented the southern Vietnamese natural harbor Jinlan Bay, it is to further encroachment of the Indian Ocean and the Malacca Strait. Finally, the Soviet Union can also use Vietnam to contain the purpose of containing a country. It is in this series of considerations, the Soviet Union's aid to Vietnam after Cuba. For Vietnam, relying on the Soviet Union, the world's superpower, but also for their own to provide a layer of security.



Vietnam has been trying to restore the Indo-Chinese Federation, but worried that the neighboring countries will interfere, and therefore must rely on the Soviet Union. In November 1978, Vietnam and the Soviet Union signed the "Soviet-Vietnam friendship and cooperation treaty." The essence of this treaty is the military alliance, in accordance with the provisions of the treaty, if Vietnam suffered a third country attack, the Soviet Union must fully support. And if the Soviet Union suffered a third country attack, Vietnam must also fully support. This treaty is basically a amulet of Vietnam, in just just over a month later, that is, December 25, Vietnam sent more than 20 million troops to attack Cambodia. After some war, Vietnam occupied Cambodia throughout the territory. But just two months later, a new round of war broke out in northern Vietnam. The battlefield for 10 years, due to long-term confrontation, Vietnam has been unable to fully develop the economy. The Soviet Union's dependence is also growing, and the Soviet Union began to fall into the quagmire of the war in Afghanistan.
