| Summary | | On Christmas Day 1978, the Vietnamese invaded Kampuchea and captured its capital within two weeks. Soon, Chinese troops invaded Vietnam. The region seemed to be again on the brink of escalation. Less than four years after the end of the Vietnam War, Indochina reappeared in headlines with what would be known as the Third Indochina Conflict. It would overnight obliterate regional post-World War II East-West divisions, beliefs and alliances. At the heart of this conflict are the implications of an unequal relationship that had evolved between the Khmers and the Viets over hundreds of years. Helping to forge this relationship were the Vietnamese concepts of relations between states and national security inherited from history as China's lesser neighbor. Into this context entered Marxist-Leninist revolutions and modern international politics. This is a study of the Third Indochina Conflict, its roots, implications, and evolution to the present impasse. |
