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)
