they were very bad and there was so many desperate people.
The government embarked on a mass campaign of collectivization of farms and factories. This caused an economic collapse and resulted in triple-digit inflation. Reconstruction of the war-ravaged country was slow, and serious humanitarian and economic problems confronted the communist regime. Millions of people fled the country in crudely built boats, creating an international humanitarian crisis.[30][31]
In 1978, the Vietnamese army invaded Cambodia (sparking the Cambodian-Vietnamese War) to remove from power the Khmer Rouge-who had been razing Vietnamese border villages and massacring the inhabitants,[32] installing a regime whose leaders rule until 1989.[33] This action worsened relations with China, which launched a brief incursion into northern Vietnam (the Sino-Vietnamese War) in 1979.[34] This conflict caused Vietnam to rely even more heavily on Soviet economic and military aid.

JudyNorth and South Vietnam became ONE communist country called Vietnam. The United States lowered the adult age from 21 to 18; and eliminated the military draft, creating today's ALL VOLUNTEER military.
Following the Tet Offensive of 1968. The National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) who had used all of their resources failed to elicit the grassroots support they needed to continue. Their eagerly anticipated uprising of the people never happened. There was little support for the communists there and no motivation for any type of "glorious revolution".

How did the Vietnam war end in Vietnam?
The Vietnam War officially ended in April 1975 during the Fall of Saigon. The United States withdrew in 1973, therefore leaving the South Vietnamese Army to defend the country by themselves. North Vietnam had agreed to a cease fire in 1973, and the US had to withdraw under the agreement. By late 1973, North Vietnam broke this agreement and went on to capture most of South Vietnam. In April 1975, the government of South Vietnam resigned and the NVA took control of Saigon, before the communists took control, there was a massive helicopter evacuation of Saigon.
