North Vietnamese Army

The North Vietnamese Army, officially the Vietnam People's Army (Vietnamese: Quân Đội Nhân Dân Việt Nam), commonly abbreviated to NVA, is the main military force of the former North Vietnam. First formed on December 24th, 1944, the NVA fought throughout various conflicts concerning the territory of Vietnam and conflicts with neighboring countries. The NVA was first formed to resist French colonialist and Japanese occupation during World War II. Following the Japanese surrender, the NVA drove off French forces, after the Việt Minh declared itself, during the First-Indochina War. When the Second-Indochina War (Vietnam War) began, the NVA defended North Vietnam and were able to conquer South Vietnam in 1975, following the American retreat.

Since the unification of Vietnam, the term of "North Vietnamese Army" is obsolete.
