History
Pre-WWIII Vietnam
In 2034 the Hanoi Spring took place. Communists were overthrown and Vietnam became a democracy. Democratic Vietnam had its capital moved to Saigon in 2036. In 2043 Vietnam became a developed nation. However since Hanoi Spring leaders were strongly anti-WMD, democratic Vietnam never aquired any nuclear weapons or any other WMDs.
WWIII Chaos in Vietnam
During WWIII Vietnam remained neutral. However some ethnobioweapons targeting ethnic Chinese affected Vietnamese. Vietnam lost 64% of its population during three days. President Luong Huy Anh and most members of his government passed away during the attacks. However Vu An Nam, the Minister of Transportation, the Minister of Transportation, remained alive. Nam then assumed presidency.
Nam's government then fought a short civil war against 3 rival governments and took all of Vietnam.
During and after the civil war Nam realized that China, Japan, Taiwan and many other nations had been depopulated and that a small group of local Vietnamese expats were among the few survivors. Moreover India became the sole remaining power that had WMDs. In order to prevent India from dominating the entire world President Vu began to aggressively obtain tech and WMDs from depopulated nations and sent Vietnamese troops to defend areas with a large Vietnamese diaspora such as United States and France.
