SUBJECT: Vietnam Era 1954-1976
"If I left [the war in Vietnam] and let the Communists take over South Vietnam, then I would be seen as a coward and my nation would be seen as an appeaser, and we would both find it impossible to accomplish anything for anybody anywhere on the entire globe."
Lyndon B. Johnson

Memoirs, 1971
The Cold War was in full "heat"...as well as the Civil Rights Movement in America. But across the Pacific, issues that had been boiling since the end of World War II erupted into civil war in South East Asia - Vietnam.
One of those places most Americans had never heard of, Vietnam became a quagmire. Because we were in the United Nations, one of those "entangling alliances" George Washington warned us to avoid about 160 years earlier, we were pulled into a war that has defined a generation.
It was a troublesome time in our history.
It was a violent time.
This week we will analyze the causes for American involvement in Vietnam and the results of that war.
