📅 25 Desèmber 1978 📍 Cambodja

Vietnamese forces entered Cambodia after years of border violence and Khmer Rouge attacks. The intervention overthrew the Democratic Kampuchea government in January 1979, ending its genocidal rule, while also beginning a decade-long Vietnamese military presence and a contested sovereignty dispute. Cambodian voices and agency remain central.
