Battlefield Tour in Pleiku – Mang Yang – An Khe Overview

The Battle of Mang Yang took place after Dien Bien Phu and might not be that of the scale of Dien Bien Phu Battle in every sense. But the Battle of Mang Yang was one of the very few battles during the whole course of the First Indochina War that the French suffered so many losses in casualties, so much loss in war materials and political reputation.

The Battle of Mang Yang did in fact have much influence the Geneva Peace Accord and the division of Vietnam into the North and South later! The political impact of the Battle of Mang Yang in the history of Vietnam was under-estimated for a long time and not much was known in Vietnam for a long time! If you happen to be a historian, a military analyst or a war veteran there are so many lessons you can learn by taking our trip to Mang Yang!
