> Most countries recognized it anyway.

No - most Asian nations did not recognize the South Vietnam govt propped up by Western powers. India for example supported Vietnamese independence from the French and recognized the PRG - Provisional Revolutionary Government which was the resistance movement in South Vietnam.

At any rate, even the US vetoed Vietnamese membership to the UN in 1975 - after losing the War.
