<p>This study combines individual-level survey data and province-level data on wartime bombing to assess the long-term impact of the Vietnam War on Vietnamese women’s attitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPV). To establish a causal link, I use a province’s distance to the arbitrarily drawn border between North Vietnam and South Vietnam as an instrument for bombing intensity in that province. I find that women living in heavily bombed provinces are more likely to accept IPV. The instrumental variable estimates are greater in magnitude than the ordinary least squares estimates across various specifications. Exposure to bombing does not seem to make women more tolerant of IPV through education or marital matching. Instead, some suggestive evidence indicates that the normalization of and desensitization to violence in the domestic sphere as well as war trauma likely play an important role in explaining the effect of conflict exposure on the justification of IPV.</p>
