الغزو الصيني لفيتنام عام 1979 م

Abstract EN

The historical relations between China and Vietnam were very close.

These relations were based on the mutual cooperation that china had been a great influence in Vietnam, but this influence abated gradually since 1972,especially when Vietnam became an united state in 1975, so China was very annoyed and the Chinese- Vietnamese relations were fading.

China's relations with Vietnam began to deteriorate seriously ,when Vietnam occupied Cambodia, hence China invaded Vietnam and destroyed its infrastructures, and the code name for China's invasion of the Vietnam was punitive war.
