What is People's Army of Vietnam?
The '''People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN''') is the [[military]] of modern-day [[Vietnam]]. It was also the military of [[Communism|communist]] [[North Vietnam]] during the [[First Indochina War]] and the [[Vietnam War]]. Non-communist fighters called it the [[Viet Minh]] during the First Indochina War and the '''North Vietnamese Army (NVA)''' during the Vietnam War. The NVA is not to be confused with the [[Viet Cong]] because the Viet Cong were [[South Vietnam|South Vietnamese]] who fought for North Vietnam. During the Vietnam War, the NVA made a system of [[trail]]s (mostly in [[Laos]] and [[Cambodia]]) called the [[Ho Chi Minh Trail]]. This was made to send NVA soldiers into South Vietnam and to give Viet Cong support to fight against non-communist soldiers. {{Vietnam War}} [[Category:Vietnam War]] [[Category:North Vietnam]] [[Category:Armies]] [[Category:20th century in Vietnam]] {{authority control}}
