Dai Viet-Luang Prabang War in 1749
What was the "Dai Viet-Luang Prabang War" in 1749? I cannot find any reference to a "war" between the Vietnamese and Luang Prabang / Laos in the 1749 time period. Two sources that I checked including the Harper Encyclopedia of Military History by Dupuy & Dupuy do not mention any armed hostilities between the Vietnamese and the people of Luang Prabang or Laos in the middle of the 18th century. Another source that I found (a paper written by Ronald Bruce St John written in 1998 for the International Boundaries Research Unit of the University of Durham in the U.K.) says "By the beginning of the eighteenth century, Lane Xang had divided into the three Kingdoms of Champasak (Champassak), Luang Prabang, and Vientiane. In this period, Annam (Vietnam) exercised a loose, occasional suzerainty over Laos which went largely unchallenged by Siam..." So to me it seems that Luang Prabang was already a subordinate of Vietnam in the mid-18th century.

I would propose that this "war" and event be removed unless someone can provide an explanation with support. If I hear nothing regarding this issue in 30 days I will be eliminating the listing. VFF0347 (talk) 19:07, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Dai Viet-Khmer War in 1699
What was the "Dai Viet-Khmer War in 1699?" I can't find any reference to a "war" between the Nguyễn lords and the Khmer Empire. Matter of fact the Khmer Empire ended in the 15th century. I understand that when the war between the Trịnh lords and the Nguyễn lords ended in 1673, the Nguyễn lords began to settle in the Cambodian territory in what is southern Vietnam today. Outposts and forts were established, but I don't see mention of a war. Cambodia at that time was pretty weak. And meddling with regard to the Cambodia throne and armed intervention didn't start until the Cambodian civil war of 1714-16. I would propose that this "war" and event be removed unless someone can provide an explanation with support. If I hear nothing regarding this issue in 30 days I may eliminate it myself. OK?

Champa-Dai Viet War
What event in the "Champa-Dai Viet War" took place in 1611? My source - "The Dictionary of Wars" by Kohn says that in 1471 the Champa king was killed and after 1471 "only a small Cham Kingdom remained in the south as a buffer between the Vietnamese and Khmers." I cannot find any reference to an event in 1611. I would propose that this "event" be removed unless someone can provide an explanation with support. If I hear nothing regarding this issue in 30 days I may eliminate it myself. OK? — Preceding unsigned comment added by VFF0347 (talk • contribs) 18:03, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Issues with this list
I might fix some of this if I have time. 96T (talk) 17:31, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) It is incomplete. Various Vietnamese states have fought wars very long before 1930.
 * 2) Saying that the outcome (presumably for Vietnam) was "victory" in wars were Vietnamese people and states fought on both sides - such as the Indochina War and the Vietnam War - is not neutral. It should say "Viet Minh victory", "North Vietnamese victory", etc.
 * 3) As far as I know, Vietnamese involvement in the Angolan Civil War has not been documented by reliable sources.

Orphaned references in List of wars involving Vietnam
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of wars involving Vietnam's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "CIA": From China:  From Communist insurgency in Thailand:  From New Zealand:  From South Korea:  From Thailand: Thailand, The World Factbook. From Viet Cong:  From France:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:31, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
