I almost agree with you but North Vietnamese as liberators... It's a bit much.

The Vietnamese wanted independence and the refusal of France and later the the intervention of the US into the Vietnamese internal politics led the Vietnamese people to turn to the Communist party as the party of independence.

The very same thing happened a few years earlier in Cuba.

But the Communist parties were not "liberators", as both the Vietnamese and the Cuban peoples discovered very quickly. But the French (obviously) and the US weren't either.

Vietnam is a nice country... for tourists. People there are not free at all. Nor are Cubans.
