Unit 1 Book 1 Personal Relationships

I. Background information

The Vietnam War

The Vietnam War (1954-1975) is a long civil war between South Vietnam and the Vietcong and North Vietnam, ending in Communist victory.

The United States was fully involved in the Vietnam War, which had a deep and lasting effect on US society and on the way that Americans thought about their own country. Military failures and loss of public support eventually forced the government to bring US forces back from Vietnam in 1973. American people have very divided feelings about the war.Many Vietnam Veterans feel angry because they were made to fight, and because they were not praised for their courage when they came home, but were sometimes criticized by people who opposed the war.
