Third Indochina War

The Third Indochina War was a period of multiple wars and conflicts involve Vietnam, China, the Khmer Rouge (now Cambodia), Laos and Thailand just three years after the Vietnam War ended. The war started on 21 December 1978 when Vietnamese troops entered the Khmer Rouge, at the time was under Pol Pot's dictatorship after the Ba Chúc massacre which was committed by the Cambodian army and many others who were also killed. After a long time, the Khmer Rouge government collapsed on 7 January 1979 and Cambodia was under Vietnamese control. China later invaded Vietnam in the north to disrupt them from the war in Cambodia. The war officially ended on 23 October 1991 under the Paris Peace Accords of 1991.
