The Vietnam War Photo Archives collection contains photographs collected by Bernie Weisz, a Vietnam War Veteran. These images document the Vietnam War as well as the after effects. The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, and known in Vietnam as the Resistance War Against America or simply the American War, was a war that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. This war was officially fought between North Vietnam and the government of South Vietnam. The North Vietnamese army was supported by the Soviet Union, China and other communist allies and the South Vietnamese army was supported by the United States, Philippines and other anti-communist allies. The photos come from soldiers and people on the ground in Vietnam. The story of Vietnam is much more nuanced than most give it credit for. Here is an opportunity to learn some of those details. Which will hopefully serve to illuminate and create perspective about the struggles, from both sides of the conflict. Many people were affected, scarred and killed. This gallery reveals a complex and nuanced photographic history of the conflict. A conflict that affected multiple countries for multiple generations.
