K. Taylor.

This course covers the three consecutive wars fought in Vietnam from 1945 to 1990 in which France, China, the US, and the USSR, among other countries, were directly involved. The course will endeavor to look at these wars from Vietnamese perspectives as well as from the perspectives of non-Vietnamese governments. One aspect of the course will be to contextualize these wars in the global arena of international relations and the foreign policies of various countries, in particular of the United States. Another aspect will be to see how Vietnamese understood what the wars were about. How and why the events of these wars have been remembered and forgotten in the different countries involved will also be addressed. (SC)
