Whakakihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko te kore o te whakakotahi i te whenua ma te pooti i arahi ki te Pakanga o Vietnam i te tau 1955. I whawhai te ope taua a te iwi o Vietnam ki te Raki o Vietnam me te roopu Viet Cong i Vietnam ki te Tonga ki te ope taua o Vietnam ki te Tonga (i taua wa ko te Republic of Vietnam) ana i tautokohia e o raatau hoa komunist, ko Haina me te Soviet Union. Hei aukati i etahi atu whenua kia kore ai e noho ki te hapori i te Tonga ki te Rawhiti o Ahia, ka uru atu te United States ki te pakanga me etahi atu ope anti-komaniti mai i Korea ki te Tonga, Ahitereiria me Thailand, i kaha tautoko i a Vietnam ki te Tonga. I horapa atu te pakanga ki ngā whenua tata, ā, i tautoko a Vietnam ki te Raki i te Pathet Lao i roto i te pakanga.
Ko Laos me te Khmer Rouge i Cambodia ki o raatau kawanatanga e tautokohia ana e te US. I te tau 1973 i akina te Hononga o Amerika me ona hoa ki te wehe atu i te pakanga, i mahue ko Vietnam ki te Tonga anake, a, i tere te kaha o nga ope o te Raki.
