South Korea Confronts Vietnam War Massacre After 1968 Case

A South Korean court has ruled in favor of a Vietnamese woman who sued the South Korean government over a massacre committed by South Korean soldiers in her village 55 years ago during the Vietnam War. The ruling has sparked a historical reckoning in South Korea, where many previously thought of themselves as victims. The court's decision could affect how Seoul responds to potential future requests from Washington for assistance, especially in a possible conflict with China over Taiwan. The South Korean government will appeal the court's ruling.
