The Vietnam war
1955-1975, it was basically a war between the communist north Vietnam and the south Vietnam, both countries was supported by other countries (south was supported by capitalist and anti-communist countries and north by communist countries) the war was a guerrilla war, which means it was a war with no real front, which also is an important factor to why, many soldiers/veterans are suffering from ptsd.
