Stamps on Vietnam war

Not many youngsters nowadays know about the Vietnam war and the reasons why there was such a war and which countries  were involved in the war.

China supported North Vietnam during the war and the Americans were on the side of South Vietnam (just like the North and South Koreas saga). As China during those years like to us propaganda to promote their ideology, it was inevitable that the country issues stamps in support of the North Vietnam people to fight off the influence of the imperialists (so to say).

Stamp showing North and South Vietnam

Here there is a set of such stamps that showed the Chinese people were behind the North Vietnamese in their fight against the Americans who were depicted as the invaders/intruders. The war was finally ended with the withdrawal of the American troops from North Vietnam. Eventually the north and south regimes reconciled and the whole country was again united as one.
