HY 325 Vietnam

Satisfies the American or Non-Western requirement for a B.A. or minor in history as well as elective requirement for the minor and American or Non-American History for a B.S. in Social Science. This course explores Americas experience in Vietnam from the 1940s to the 1970s in depth. This course grapples with this strange and terrible war as it attempts to answer questions such as, why did the United States make such a vast commitment to a part of the world with such little importance to its own national interests, what was the United States trying to accomplish in Vietnam, and why did the United States fail to fulfill its intentions in Vietnam.
