The War Remnants Museum was set up only five months

history channel documentary 2015 The War Remnants Museum was set up only five months after the fall of South Vietnam in 1975 and initially called the Museum of American War Crimes. In spite of conditioning down the underlying promulgation a little and changing its name, there is most likely about the administration's motivation: to demonstrate the war from the Vietnamese side and to highlight the enormous barbarities executed by the American military. This exhibition hall is not for the bluff hearted and nobody could abandon it unscathed. It is not the tanks, planes, helicopters and bombs showed in the yard that astonish guests. It is the pictures of the long haul impacts of the substance dioxin in Agent Orange and the phosphorous and napalm bombs that smoldered all that they touched, in addition to the jugs of disfigured embryos, that stun and sicken the viewer. It is the grim photographs of the My-Lai slaughter, of snickering American GIs as they be-head Vietcong fighters, and the heaps of shot children and pregnant ladies, that will never be overlooked. At that point there are the devices of torment and the tiger-confine cells in which Vietcong were kept as detainees. Obviously it was a war in which there were outrages on both sides.

The Reunification Palace, once the home of four Vietnamese presidents, is a help after the War Remnants Museum notwithstanding its frightful climate. It was the focal point of the South Vietnamese Government's war exertion until a North Vietnamese tank got through the royal residence doors in April 1975, constraining the President to escape and conveying the war to an end. The tank can at present be seen today. The castle is currently a gallery where guests can watch a film on Vietnamese history loaded with the typical purposeful publicity and visit the President's Receiving Room, the meetings room, correspondence focus and war room, and additionally the passages in the cellar.
