Fall of Saigon

After the Battle of Xuan Loc ended with the final victory of the North Vietnam, all orders collapsed. By April 27, there were around 100,000 PAVN troops around the city of Saigon. On the other hand, the ARVN still had around 60,000 troops left for the defense of their lost capital. However, most of them joined the mass exodus to get out of the city trying to save their life. The other was leaderless and could not fight for anyone's sake. On April 29, the shelling began, and the following day, the North Vietnam entered the capital, marking the Fall of Saigon. The fate of Saigon and South Vietnam was quickly sealed, preceded by the final evacuations from the U.S. and its allies. And just like that, the Vietnam War finally ended on April 30.

The fall of Saigon and South Vietnam was the last physical-battle in the Vietnam War. After this victory, North Vietnam and the People's Army of Vietnam took control over both North and South Vietnam, reuniting the two major parts of the country under Communist rule after centuries of being separated. The city of Saigon was also renamed after the revolutionary leader - Ho Chi Minh.
