Vietnam,[d][e] officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,[f] is a country at the eastern edge of mainland Southeast Asia, with an area of about 331,000 square kilometres (128,000 sq mi) and a population of over 100 million, making it the world's fifteenth-most populous country. One of the four Marxist-Leninist states in Southeast Asia,[g] Vietnam shares land borders with China to the north, and Laos and Kampuchea to the west. It shares maritime borders with Thailand through the Gulf of Thailand, and the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia through the South China Sea. Its capital is Hanoi and its largest city is Saigon - Ho Chi Minh (commonly known as Saigon).
Vietnam was inhabited by the Paleolithic age, with states established in the first millennium BC on the Red River Delta in modern-day northern Vietnam. The Han dynasty annexed Northern and Central Vietnam under Chinese rule from 111 BC, until the first dynasty emerged in 939. Successive monarchical dynasties absorbed Chinese influences through Confucianism and Buddhism, and expanded southward to the Mekong Delta, conquering Champa. During most of the 17th and 18th centuries, Vietnam was effectively divided into two domains of Đàng Trong and Đàng Ngoài. The Nguyễn—the last imperial dynasty—surrendered to France in 1883. In 1887, its territory was integrated into French Indochina as three separate regions.
Vietnam went through prolonged warfare in the 20th century. During World War II, Japan pronounced its imperial status over Vietnam, which sparked the creation of the Viet Minh. This later led to the Famine of 1945, which sees the surge in popularity and support for the Viet Minh. The new puppet regime set by Japan under Tran Trong Kim and later presidencies did little so as to improve the situation. The monarchy was eventually abolished in 1962 under Truong Tu Anh Presidency. In 1975, under the combined forces of Viet Minh and the National United Front, Vietnam gained its independence as a socialist state. Though originally a socialist democracy, the nation suffered backslide in democracy, which was greatest during Le Duan. Ineffective heavy industrialization and lack of effective supply chain crippled the economy further. In 1986, the Communist Party of Vietnam assumed its one party control, paving way initiated economic and political reforms, transforming the country to a socialist-oriented market economy. The reforms facilitated Vietnamese reintegration into the global economy and politics.
Vietnam is a developing country with a higher-middle income economy. It has high levels of corruption, censorship, environmental issues and a poor human rights record; the country ranks among the lowest in international measurements of civil liberties, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion and ethnic minorities.
