The Battle of Buon Ma Thuot was the opening battle of the Central Highlands Campaign launched by the Liberation Army on March 10, 1975, attacking Buon Ma Thuot Town. The defense force of the II Corps, Army of the Republic of Vietnam was repelled from the town. The efforts to recapture Buon Ma Thuot by the Army of the Republic of Vietnam in the subsequent counterattacks all failed. Losing his composure after repeated defeats, on March 14, President Nguyen Van Thieu and the highest-ranking generals of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam made a huge mistake when they decided to withdraw troops throughout the Central Highlands to defend the Central Coast. The hasty and unprepared withdrawal caused an irreparable disaster: the entire force of the II Corps of the Republic of Vietnam with about 60,000 soldiers in the chaotic withdrawal on Highway 7 was pursued by the Liberation Army and almost disintegrated, no longer able to fight. The victory at the Buon Ma Thuot front then created major breakthroughs on the battlefield, opening the way for the defeat and disintegration of the ARVN in South Vietnam in early 1975, leading to the end of the Vietnam War (1954-1975) and the reunification of the country after 21 years of division. -------------------------------------- If you find the video interesting, don't forget to click LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE. ▶️ Channel address: https://www.youtube.com/c/TungTangKhác... ▶️ For any information, please contact: [email protected].
