HIST 384 - History of Modern Vietnam

Institution:

Indiana State University

Subject:

History

Description:

hours. Most courses on America’sinvolvement in Vietnam focus on that involvement in the context of Cold War politics. However, such an approach neglects the long and glorious history of one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic cultures. By analyzing the history of the Vietnamese people from around 500 B.C. to the present—with an emphasis on the period since 1700—an enlighteningperspective as to why they fought so tenaciously to throw off the yokes of Chinese, French, and American imperialism can be gained. Students will also examine a period of history that is normally neglected by most courses that focus on the Vietnam War exclusively, namely, what has happened in Vietnam since 1975, and its relationship with Cambodia, China, and the United States.
