About the vietnam war notes
GoConqr OriginalWhat the Vietnam War notes cover
The notes offer different ways into the unit. The war in Vietnam summarizes the fighting, while The Tet Offensive looks at problems America faced in Vietnam. Other notes cover US involvement, the division of Vietnamese territory, and media and protests.
For background, start with the notes on how the US became involved. Then read The war in Vietnam for a summary before choosing a focused topic. The notes on media and protests are an option if you want to look beyond the fighting itself.
Study with notes
After reading a note, close it and write down the main points you remember. Reopen it to check what you missed, then compare it with another note on the same part of the unit. If you want to test your recall or see a topic laid out visually, switch to a quiz or mind map on the unit page.
Choose a note that matches the topic you are studying and give it a read.
