The Vietnam War: How Did We Get There?
THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 10 A.M.
Keystone Room
Prior to World War II, the U.S. had almost no relationship with Vietnam due to the 19th century Emperor Minh Mang’s anti-foreign stance. In 1944, America aided the Vietnamese communist army the Viet Minh led by Ho Chi Minh against Japan, marking the beginning of America’s involvement in Vietnam. This talk examines the historical circumstances that led to America’s longest war (until Afghanistan) and discusses changes in our military and civilian lives resulting from it. Robert Wheelersburg, Ph.D., was a Navy Hospital Corpsman during the evacuation of Saigon who served on the aircraft carrier, USS Midway, and lived in a Vietnamese refugee camp in the Philippines for three months providing medical care. He is also a retired military historian and anthropology professor.
