Vietnam's Land Reform

Vietnam's Land Reform was a policy implemented in the mid-1950s aimed at redistributing land from wealthy landowners to peasants. The goal was to eliminate large estates, promote equality, and boost agricultural productivity. The process involved confiscating land, often through mass mobilizations and sometimes violence, and then dividing it among peasants. While it succeeded in reducing land inequality, it also caused social upheaval, displacement, and loss of life. Overall, the reform was a significant step toward land redistribution and social change in Vietnam's rural society.
