Saigon was the capital of South Vietnam until April 1975, when Communist forces overran it. Then Saigon was renamed Ho Chi
Minh City.
The long Vietnam War ended on April 30, 1975 with the Fall of Saigon. The North Vietnamese had finally achieved a
thirty-year goal of uniting the North and South under their control. Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam, became the capital
of Vietnam. Copy© Furia 1999-2002 Updated March 6, 2002
