The Korean War was a war between North Korea (with China and the Soviet Union as allies) and South Korea (and the United States). It began on June 25, 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea. The fighting ended on July 27, 1953, but no peace treaty was ever signed, and no winner was declared.

The Vietnam War was a conflict between November 1955 and April 1975. It was officially fought between North Vietnam (allied with the Soviet Union and China) and South Vietnam (mainly with the United States, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia and Thailand). The war ended with the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. The Independence Palace was taken and the Viet Cong flag raised above it.
