North and South Yemen War

The North and South Yemen War was a conflict between the two Yemeni states, which had been characterized by fluctuating relations ranging from peaceful to hostile. The People's Democratic Republic of Yemen in the South received support from the Eastern bloc, while the Yemen Arab Republic in the North struggled to establish similar international connections. The war erupted as tensions escalated, with the North accusing the South of receiving foreign assistance, particularly from Saudi Arabia. The conflict highlighted the geopolitical divisions in the region and the influence of external powers on local disputes. The war concluded with a ceasefire, facilitated by negotiations brokered by the Arab League, which aimed to stabilize the situation and promote dialogue between the two states. This conflict set the stage for future tensions and conflicts in Yemen, as underlying issues remained unresolved, contributing to the complex political landscape in the region.
