What did the communist do with the south Vietnam?

After the fall of Saigon in 1975, the communist forces of North Vietnam unified the country under communist rule, renaming it the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The new government implemented land reforms, nationalized industries, and sought to eliminate capitalist influences. Many South Vietnamese faced persecution, while a significant number fled the country as refugees. The period was marked by economic struggles and efforts to integrate the two regions, which had starkly different governance and ideologies.
