The Vietnam War (Part I): The Dominos Begin to Fall




The Monday American: American History Podcast show

Summary: The Vietnam War remains unique in history with how difficult it was to both avoid the war as well as heat it up. This war (like so many stories in history) has a deep contextual background spanning many years before its actual inception. We attempt to go through the post World War II era of how the Vietnamese country came to be, how it furthered towards all out war and offer an attempt at an explanation as to why we furthered our involvement.
