The histroy of conflcit is written by victor.

Today, we visited The War Remnants Museum in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City.

It consists of exhibits relating to the American's crime conducted during the Vietnam War. It has become a major tourist attraction.
Operated by the Vietnamese government, the museum was opened in September 1975 as the "The House for Displaying War Crimes of American Imperialism and the Puppet Government [of South Vietnam]."

Later it was known as the Museum of American War Crimes, then as the War Crimes Museum until as recently as 1993.

Its current name follows liberalization in Vietnam and the normalization of relations with the United States, but the museum does not attempt to be politically balanced.

The museum comprises a series of eight themed rooms in several buildings, with period military equipment located within a walled yard.

The military equipment include a UH-1 "Huey" helicopter, an F-5A fighter, a BLU-82 "Daisy Cutter" bomb, M48 Patton tank, and an A-1 attack bomber
