HIST 3740 - Vietnam: A Century of Conflict

3 cr. 3 hr. Day course offered every other year.

Vietnam and its history is examined from a variety of international perspectives: Vietnamese resistance to colonialism in the Chinese, French, and Japanese periods, along with the emergence of nationalism and the First Indochina War (1945-54) between France and Vietnam, and then the origins of American involvement during the Cold War era. The course concludes with an examination of how the war has been memorialized and post-1975 political changes in Vietnam including the resumption of U.S.-Vietnam relations. CTW, HIST, GDCN
