"The Vietnam War did not remain within the borders of Vietnam. The conflict expanded into neighbouring countries like Laos and Cambodia, where North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Viet Cong soldiers moved and operated, at times pursued by South Vietnamese and American forces. These interventions had a profound impact on the development of Laos and Cambodia. One significant outcome was the rise and expansion of nationalist-communist groups. Like the Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians had endured generations of colonial exploitation, foreign meddling and unwanted conflict. Vietnam’s nationalist and communist movement inspired the rise of the Pathet Lao in Laos and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. These groups would shape the destinies of their countries."
