In fact, many times, historical events and conclusions are relative, and there will be regional differences, and even facts recognized by the whole world, in fact, there are different states. The most typical is the war against Vietnam in 1979, the whole world knows that China has won a complete victory, and finally took the initiative to retreat, so the whole world also knows that Vietnam lost. But in fact, the Vietnamese think they have won, why is this? You might not think of it.
From the current point of view, the war against Vietnam ushered in 40 years of peace for our country, completely crushed Vietnam's ambitions, and not only caused Vietnam to suffer heavy losses, but also destroyed the northern industry. Moreover, Vietnam was trapped in 10 years of attrition, after which the national strength was exhausted, and even the Soviet Union was dragged down. Incidentally, the Vietnamese occupation of Laos and Cambodia was also resolved, giving China two friendly countries in Southeast Asia, Laos and Cambodia.
Our country has won 40 years of peaceful development and has now completely risen. Therefore, the short war at that time taught Vietnam a lesson and achieved the greatest goal, and it can be said that the whole world has seen that our country has won. But in fact, when you go to Vietnam and ask the Vietnamese who won the war, they will actually get the opposite answer, because they will think that they have won. Why?
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is because the angle is different. The angle of propaganda in Vietnamese textbooks is different. At that time, Vietnam made the worst plan, thinking that north Vietnam would be occupied, even Hanoi would be lost, the north would be destroyed, and it was ready to enter a guerrilla war for 20 years... That said, Vietnam was preparing for the worst at the time, and the same was true for propaganda.
But the result of the final war, Vietnam itself did not expect, because china not only did not enter Hanoi, nor did it occupy North Vietnam, let alone invade. Immediately after the brief war, it withdrew and returned to the previous Line of Actual Control. This is unexpected for the Vietnamese government, and it also brings room for operation.
Vietnam has been preaching, because the heroic war of the Vietnamese army has caused us heavy losses and eventually had to withdraw our troops. The Vietnamese government has preserved the capital, saved the north, and there is no need to fight guerrillas... Could this not be a big victory? So the Vietnamese think so, in fact, it is not wrong, and the Vietnamese government must publicize its own toughness, and can not say that it has lost.
Just like the United States, it lost on the peninsula, but still said that it won. Because from the perspective of the United States, the UNITED Army held the 38th Line, which is actually a victory. So these countries, typical self-deception. What do you readers think about this? Welcome to leave a message and discuss with the editor!
