HS 535 Vietnam Wars
Examines the origins, experiences, and consequences of the Vietnam War. Readings, discussions and assignments will focus on the political, social, and military forces that shaped the contours of the conflicts between 1945 and 1975. Central themes include the emergence and evolution of Vietnamese nationalism, the global Cold War, the American anti-war movement, and how tens of millions of Southeast Asian and American lives were transformed by the conflicts. In addition, significant attention also is paid to the ways that the war has continued to have an important impact in the years since the cessation of fighting-from Vietnam’s postwar economic development and lingering social environment scars to the United States’ Vietnam-influenced foreign policy, domestic politics and popular culture.
