South Vietnam was a country in Southeast Asia that existed from 1954 to 1975, created after the division of Vietnam following French colonial rule. It matters historically because it was central to the Cold War conflict in Asia, ultimately falling to communist North Vietnam in 1975, which reunited the country under communist control.
