Why the US left Vietnam: video worksheets, differentiated.

A very detailed and accessible analysis of the many causes of the long US withdrawal from Vietnam. Using archive footage and a variety of primary sources (all cited fully), this engaging film covers: The Tet Offensive, LBJ refuses a second term. Gen. Creighton Abrams appointed. Nixon wins the 1968 election. ’Vietnamisation’, the ‘mad man theory’. Ho Chi Minh dies. ARVN expansion. Attack on the ‘Bamboo Pentagon’. Kent State and Jackson State university shootings. Nixon appeals to the ‘Silent Majority’. US Forces’ morale declines: desertion, drug use, fragging. MLK on civil rights of black US soldiers. Operation LAMSON 719. My Lai Massacre, The ‘Pentagon Papers’. The Easter Offensive. A ‘decent interval’. 1972 US election. Operation Linebacker II. Paris Peace Accords.

Find the film on YouTube by searching the Real Time History Channel for “Why the US Left Vietnam (Documentary)” My link omits a 3-min trailer at the end, the film will stop straight after my sheet’s final question if you use my embedded link.

18 questions for the 22-min film (not inc. the omitted 3-min trailer). Differentiated! Both versions look very similar, but “B” version has subtle clues. Questions right up to the end (of my embedded link), no slack time! Excellent subtitles, scripted, not auto-generated. Answer sheet. Very easy to mark. .doc & .pdf for all files.
