Saigon, capital city of South Vietnam, fell to North Vietnamese forces on April 30th 1975. The fall of Saigon effectively marked the end of the Vietnam War. After the introduction of Vietnamisation by President Richard Nixon, US forces in South Vietnam had been constantly reduced leaving the military of South Vietnam to defend their country against the North. Saigon had already experienced direct military action in 1968 when as part of the Tet Offensive North Vietnamese forces had appeared in Saigon and for a short time had entered the US Embassy. However, brief their incursion may have been, the appearance of North Vietnamese forces in the South’s capital had been a shock. By 1975, what remained of the South Vietnamese Army was not capable of withstanding the advance of the North and it was an inevitability that Saigon would fall to communist forces. 30 Apr 1975, Saigon, South Vietnam --- A North Vietnamese tank rolls into a compound during the fall of Saigon, 1975. --- Image by © Francoise de Mulder/CORBIS 30 Apr 1975, Saigon, Vietnam --- Vietnamese celebrate after the fall of Saigon. --- Image by © Jacques Pavlovsky/Sygma/Corbis North Vietnamese troops enter Saigon on tanks and trucks, ending the Vietnam War. --- Image by © Jacques Pavlovsky/Sygma/Corbis 30 Apr 1975, Saigon, South Vietnam --- Female North Vietnamese troops enter Saigon carrying wooden rifles, red flags, and portrait of Ho Chi Minh. --- Image by © Jacques Pavlovsky/Sygma/CORBIS 30 Apr 1975, Saigon, South Vietnam --- Popular jubilation as North Vietnamese troops enter Saigon. --- Image by © Jacques Pavlovsky/Sygma/CORBIS 30 Apr 1975, Saigon, South Vietnam --- North Vietnamese troops seize the presidential palace in Saigon. --- Image by © Jacques Pavlovsky/Sygma/CORBIS 30 Apr 1975, Saigon, South Vietnam --- Female North Vietnamese troops enter Saigon in a jeep. --- Image by © Jacques Pavlovsky/Sygma/CORBIS 30 Apr 1975, Saigon, South Vietnam --- During the Fall of Saigon, a boy on a jeep waves a transitional flag (used for 4 months in the middle of 1975) for South Vietnam, soon to reunite with the North. --- Image by © Jacques Pavlovsky/Sygma/CORBIS As Saigon falls to the communist rule of North Vietnamese, US Ambassador to Vietnam, Graham Martin, speaks to the press April 29, 1975 after an evacuation from South Vietnam.
