What if South Vietnam unites with Cambodia not with North Vietnam what will happen to Cambodia and North Vietnam.

Umm. They're two very different nations (culturally, linguistically and religuously), not interchangeable yellow people. It's like suggesting that East Germany be merged with Poland (although with arguably even more of a cultural gap).

ASB. The two nations and peoples hated each other. They still do. Right now Vietnam has problems with Cambodian incursions in the Central Highlands.

Many US Troops, especially the Special Forces Mobile Guerrilla Forces operating in War Zone D used Khummer Kampochia Kromm --Free Cambodians-- as troops because they hated the Vietnamese --both North and South-- and were not inclined to discuss operations with any Vietnamese let alone the Viet Cong.

Many times US troops either witnessed or attempted to intervene in clashes and battles between Cambodian volunteers and ARVN troops.
 
Simply because they're near each other doesn't mean it's the same.
If this happens they would be like the Kurdis of Iraq. So they need a mutual conqueror that's even more ignorant than the British. *cough*America*cough* :rolleyes:
And even then it's still ASB-ish

After all there's a reason why it's named South Vietnam not East Cambodia.

But this is a WI thread so I have to say, in no time where they'd stop sucking up to the Americans, and make their version of Saddam. The guy would kill a bunch of Vietnamese out of pure hatred before probably invading weak Laos. Later on they'll attack North Vietnam before the world's even loathed them enough and start SE Asia's Gulf War. Thailand then would get one of the big guys to invade in true Saudi style. Freeing Laos and reduce the country's control over South Vietnam to only nominally.
Basically Indochina is OTL Middle East.
