Summary

The Vietnam War was perhaps the most significant event that took place in the last half of the 20th century. It had profound impacts on the United States and, of course, Vietnam. However, many people have a very simplistic view of the causes of the war. They assume it was just a result of Cold War politics. While that was certainly a cause, the root causes go back much further. Learn more about the origins of the Vietnam War and how and why it happened on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
