VIETNAM 30/50 – 30 Years of War/50 Years of Reflection
About
The 6th Biennial Two-Day Conference of Military History and Heritage Victoria Inc. at Tobruk House, Albert Park, 16-17 May 2026.The 30 year war in Vietnam, from 1945-1975, was brutal and devastating.
It killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of both soldiers and civilians on both sides and destroyed communities across the country. Australia, as an ally of the US and equally adverse to the spread of communism in South-East Asia, made its contribution to support the Republic of Vietnam, opposed by the southern Viet Cong and northern Vietnam People’s Army. Fifty Years later, historians and veterans of the conflict reflect on what happened, why and deal with the consequences of that war.
