  • The Indochina War refers to the Fallout universe's analogue to the Vietnam War. The French colony of Indochina achieved independence in the early 1950s, but soon found itself entangled in a bloody civil war, with the western-allied southern state battling the Chinese-allied north. This culminated with the United States led invasion of North Indochina in 1965, ordered by President Nixon in response to an alleged assault on U.S. warships by communist forces. The communist guerrilla forces of the north proved to be no match for the American-led coalition, and the war ended in 1967 with the capture of Hanoi, the communist capitol. The swift American victory, coupled with the strong patriotic sentiment stirred up by the success in the conflict are often credited with holding the nation together during a turbulent period, and keeping the optimistic spirit of the 1950s alive. The war was also notable for its role as the first major conflict to involve the relatively new technologies of energy weapons and powered exoskeletons (Although the latter would not truly catch on until the Sino-American war of the 2060s).
