Sino-Vietnamese War

War between China and Vietnam in 1979

The Sino-Vietnamese War (also known by other names) was a war which occurred in early 1979 between China and Vietnam. China launched an offensive ostensibly in response to Vietnam's invasion and occupation of Cambodia in 1978, which ended the rule of the Khmer Rouge. The conflict lasted for about a month, with China withdrawing its troops in March 1979.
