VIETNAM (VIE)

The war was a reflection of the Cold War, with America supporting South Vietnam, and China/Russia aiding North Vietnam.

This followed the collapse of the French empire in south east Asia in 1954. It was the first war in which the US was defeated; despite fielding around 0.5m troops. NZ forces were marginally involved in the late 1960s.

There will be four sessions employing parts of the classic Ken Burns documentary.
