S3 E21: The Second Indochina War

About this episode

The episode discusses the Second Indochina War, its causes, impacts, and the differing perspectives on the conflict.

Time to test where you live! The US calls this war something very different than what most of the rest of the world calls it! We talk about the causes behind the war, the impacts of the war, why it was so deadly, and if any of the reasons for fighting the war (the fears) actually became a reality after the war ended. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jZz3LHZfYH_RDo9GCb2HTQRHzlKBYVDnmYIbLQ_Zdrg/edit?tab=t.0 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wfk2xvUIi-HANDXZJQlbigKvWocucHsbq4g91hd3ON8/edit?tab=t.0 https://docs.google.com/document/d/10p-nBSlZcqIeUn9bDq0XZIUkWzM9INF6Vmwmv7QKlmo/edit?tab=t.0 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qRk-IBQxgMHBFCoL48wI5Xp5XRXVWs6EZLc780z-fjk/edit?tab=t.0 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FnHsKa9vZQHkvNTdltsfKwG7crNV-q2AblMDTgbxyQE/edit?tab=t.0 Warning - The below link contains graphic images!
