Vietnam Era Online

What comes to mind when you think about the Vietnam Era? For many, that period represents a challenging time in U.S. history. It is defined by an unpopular war that claimed the lives of 58,000 Americans and some 3 million Vietnamese. In this course, you’ll look at the history of the Vietnam War. The roots of the conflict stretch further back than you might know. You’ll examine why the United States got involved in the conflict and why the United States failed to achieve its objectives.
