[edit] Vietnamese invaded Cambodia

The Vietnamese invaded Cambodia for imperialistic reasons...see the book "Why Vietnam Invaded Cambodia."

Vietnamese invaded Cambodia because the Khmer Rouge attacked Vietnamese villages near the border and massacred ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia. See all other sources except the book you mentioned.--81.100.174.75 15:18, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Periodization

The Vietnamese Invasion of Cambodia was not a seperate war but the opening act of the Third Indochina War; this needs to be clarified here and in the article on the Third Indochia War. Cripipper 18:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

This article is ludicrous. How did the North Vietnamese conduct a war in South Vietnam without conducting a war (through their Pathet Lao proxies) in Laos? How did the North Vietnamese conduct a war in South Vietnam without 1. the acquiescence of Nordom Sihanouk, 2. the creation of the Sihanouk Trail? In what manner was the Cambodian Civil War related to the Vietnam Conflict? To the Laotian Civil War? Was it possible that the three conflicts were interlinked by geography, politico-military history? By ethnic-racial antagomisms? By ideological similarities or differences? Get a grip. Round Two - So the Sino-Vietnamese war was fought in a vacuum? There was absolutely no casus belli for the Chinese to invade the Socialist Republic of Vietnam? Hilarious!
