Civil conflicts in Vietnam (1945–1949)
Civil conflicts in Vietnam were a series of events characterized by political violence and civil war which took place soon after the end of World War II. It lasted from the August Revolution in 1945 until the establishment of the State of Vietnam in 1949, during which the communist-led Viet Minh suppressed and terrorized both nationalist and Trotskyist groups. According to David G. Marr, it was an era of hatred, betrayal, and murder.
