The ARVN regained Quảng Trị after a three-month effort.
The province had been taken in the 1972 Easter Offensive, and in fact it had been the first major North Vietnamese victory in that effort. The ARVN offensive retook most of the province, but not all of it. The northernmost part of the area would remain in NVA hands until the end of the war.
The province has a large Catholic population and remains an area with several sites important to Vietnamese Catholicism. During the Communist occupation, a large percentage of the residents of the province became refugess.
