Vietnam (pronounced /ˌviː.ɛtˈnɑːm/ (deprecatit template) VEE-et-NAHM; Việt Nam, Aboot this soondlisten ), offeecially the Socialist Republic o Vietnam (Cộng hòa xã hội chủ nghĩa Việt Nam, Aboot this soondlisten ), is the eastrenmaist kintra on the Indocheenae Peninsula in Sootheast Asie. It is bordered bi Fowkrepublic o Cheenae (FRC) tae the north, Laos tae the northwast, Cambodie tae the soothwast, an the Sooth Cheenae Sea, referred tae as East Sea (Biển Đông), tae the east. Wi a population o ower 86 million, Vietnam is the 13t maist populous kintra in the warld.

The fowk o Vietnam regained unthirldom an brak away frae Cheenae in AD 938 efter thair victory at the battle o Bạch Đằng River. Successive dynasties flourished alang wi geographic an poleetical expansion deeper intae Sootheast Asie, till it wis colonized bi the French in the mid-19t century. Efforts tae resist the French eventually led tae thair expulsion frae the kintra in the mid-20t century, leavin a naition dividit politically intae twa kintras. Fechtin atween the twa sides continued durin the Vietnam War, endin wi a North Vietnamese victory in 1975.

Emergin frae this prolonged military engagement, the war-ravaged naition wis politically isolatit. In 1986, the govrenment institutit economic an poleetical reforms an began a path towards internaitional reintegration.[7] Bi 2000, it haed establisht diplomatic relations wi maist naitions. Its economic growthe haes been amang the hichest in the warld in the past decade.[8] Thir economic reforms an' a' introduced inequality in mony spheres o life in Vietnam sic as income distribution an weemen's richts.[9][10][11][12][13]
