Content: Some of the policies of Vietnamese Communist Party (VCP) policies did not necessarily extend to the party’s peacetime nation-building plans. In a process called "northerization" by some historians, the Vietnamese government seized property and farmland in the south and collectivized agriculture. An effort was made to do something about the large number of prostitutes, drug addicts, illiterates and unemployed in the south. Some bar girls were forced to marry North Vietnamese soldiers that had been badly injured or maimed. For some, the fighting was not finished. Many Vietnamese were sent to Cambodia in 1978 to chase the Khmer Rouge to the mountains. Hanoi's mismanagement brought near-famine, international isolation and poverty to all but the Communist Party elite. In 1978, Vietnam invaded Cambodia, overthrowing the regime of dictator and mass murderer Pol Pot, then, in 1979, fought off invading Chinese troops in a month-long border war. Vietnam stayed in Cambodia until 1989. What many Vietnamese call the "Dark Years" lasted for 15 years until the Vietnamese left Cambodia and the doi moi economic reforms initiated in the mid 1980s began to take hold.
