Learn about the events that made America what she is today.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the United States was involved in a long, bloody struggle to determine the future of Vietnam, a small nation in Southeast Asia. Back home, the war became one of the most controversial issues of the era. Millions of Americans called for peace, while others would be satisfied only with a strong military victory.
