• The Vietnam War - Part 1
How much do you really know about the Vietnam War (Or Second Indochina War)?
Come with me as we dive deep intro the history of Vietnam, from the First Indochina War against France, all the way to the war against the United States of America.
Operation Rolling Thunder awaits, do not click away!
This video covers topics including: The tet offensive, the Phoenix Program, The Easter Offensive, The Watergate Scandal, The My Lai Massacre, the invasion of Laos and Cambodia, The use of Chemical Herbicides, The Cu Chi Tunnels and Operation Cedar Falls, Vietnamization, Nixon's treason, and of course, the Fall of Saigon!
This video was heavily based on the Wondrium.com course on the Vietnam war! (Not Sponsored, I just really like it)
Also, if you want to know more about the dirty deeds of the US during the war, I highly suggest you read William Blum's "Killing Hope", which is highly detailed and has great sources.
This video was heavily inspired by Oversimplified and Bill Wurtz (Especially his history of the entire world, I guess)

As a Vietnamese, this is a very well-explained series from both perspectives of the North and South with their issues and governments. Growing up, history in school seems to be one-sided; for example, they mark the Tet Offensive as a morale victory, even though they lost more troops than ARVN and US forces combined, which didn't make sense for a 12-year-old me back then. Now, I have the privilege to study abroad in the US; I learned a lot from the books, journals, and memoirs from the war, and sure as hell, I was surprised. The background support from the American people to end the war and the political struggle of the South was never heard of ( at least from academic books). Fantastic job on the series, and all the best!!! P/s: Sorry for the horrible grammar lol~.

Thank you for acknowledging the awful things Henry Kissinger did to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. In school, I live in America, the standard curriculum only briefly mentioned Kissinger and did not touch much on the civilian sides of things. It was my individual teachers who spoke about the atrocities that the US committed and explained the civilian side of the war. May that devil burn in hell for the lives he destroyed

I agreed with very few ideas of Henry Kissinger, but one thing I absolutely agree with him on was the bombing of eastern Cambodia. If I had been in his position, I too would've been prepared to do almost anything to keep the Khmer Rouge from taking power and push out the invading North Vietnamese Army that was violating Cambodia's sovereignty and actively trying to conquer it. I know as many as 50,000 civilians died due to the bombing campaign, but I don't pretend war isn't hell, but that is no reason to not do what is right for an important ally in need of desperate help with defending themselves against a foreign invader. It's also worth noting that only 17% of all civilian casualties can be attributed to the US bombing campaign, it was not the leading cause of civilian casualties in any way, which is also a reason why I would've supported nearly anything that could've possibly stopped that wretched invasion of North Vietnam that ended up killing so many millions of people.

@@stepanotrisal1512 | This. I as well am pro-US, but frankly, this war was a political one. We really just wanted to get involved because we didn't agree with their politics, and tons and tons of american troops died because of it. My granddad went over because he thought he was going to fight in the next WW2, a heroic war, but he ended up in the 615th MP in '68-'69, and what he told me he saw honestly paints a pretty good picture. The americans commited war crimes, of course they did, I can't deny or defend that, but the VC did equally horrifying stuff. The MPs had to deal with at least two incidents where explosives set up to kill american transport vehicles blew up civilian cars. And then we pulled out of vietnam, left the south to basically fend for itself. We lost millions of men, killed thousands of civilians, spend trillions of dollars, then just left like nothing happened. I consider it one of the first big failures of the modern military.

Also my old bus monitor was in the 25th infantry division in plieku the years before my grandfather was there.

The US did not cause the Cambodian Genocide in anyway, the US was instrumental in the effort to stop it at any cost. North Vietnam invaded Cambodia and supported and fought with the Khmer Rouge against the Cambodian government, which eventually sent and ultimate that all North Vietnamese soldiers must leave Cambodia (they obviously refused) and together with the US and South Vietnam, they launched the Cambodian Campaign and started bombing their common enemies, the Khmer Rouge and North Vietnam who had no right violating Cambodia's sovereignty. The real tragedy was when the US abandoned Cambodia and thereby gave the North Vietnamese the opportunity to put the Khmer Rouge into power.

However Vietnam repelled the Chinese, defeated the Americans and marched on the Cambodian Capital untile the Berlin Wall fell, at that point Vietnam was scared of an eventual collapse of the USSR and pulled out of Cambodia ensuring tho that PolPot leaves Cambodian politics and people get to vote on their government And they voted for a Constitutional Monarchy (it's unsure if the vote was legit tho because of the American influence)

A way you can tell the difference is that the m16a1 has a triangular hand guard and a straight 20 round magazine instead of the 30 round curved ones.

Great videos, very knowledgeble. I have never learned anything on the vietnam war matter, so these videos was really helpful to understand what it was all about - and in the end pointless. It makes me sick, how the americans reacted and feel bad for Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. 😢 I just subbed btw.

More like: North Vietnam: I am not an imperialist aggressor at all 😉(proceeds to invade three independent and sovereign countries, annexing on of them and putting puppet governments in the other two while occupying one of them for an entire decade until it loses to a actual rice farmers xD).

18:50 From a story I read in the newspaper, Telling about the handshake and peace signing between Vietnam and the US by Duc Tho and Kissinger. They were both awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. While Kissinger received the award with a proud smile, Duc Tho was absent with a letter of refusal with a reason: My country is not yet at peace. How ironic.....

Because remember kids, even when a communist is pulling the trigger, it is an American who is somehow responsible. The Khmer Rouge were not a result of the American bombing, but the cause. They were the ones allowing VC into Cambodia, and a friend of an enemy is usually an enemy, especially when he is helping your enemy against you. (Also the 800,000 figure is just invented, the 150,000 is the actual highest estimate)
