Question:

Why did the large-scale growth of prostitution occur in Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia during the war?

Answer (optional):

The large-scale growth of prostitution occurred in Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia during the war because of factors such as the injection of foreign capital, establishment of rest and recreation outlets to entertain foreign soldiers, forced urbanization, bombings, and defoliation. These factors caused approximately 10 million Vietnamese to flee their villages and drastically altered the traditional economic marketplace, leading to the rapid growth of the commercial sex industry.
