This Vietnam War Protests Lesson Plan has students reading about key events of the Vietnam War era and deciding if they would join the resistance movements against the war, support the war, or try to act like nothing was going on. I wanted to get my students thinking about what resistance means and how it can impact those who resist and collaborate. I also want them thinking critically about what it looks like to protest and the impact it can have. This download includes short readings on 8 key events/moments from the Vietnam War era: First American Deaths in Vietnam Buddhist Monk Thích Quång Dúc Burns Himself to Death The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution Public Opinion of the War Drops Tet Offensive The My Lai Massacre Kent State Shootings Pentagon Papers Published After reading about each event, students determine if they would join the anti-war movement and resist in some way, elect to support the American war effort, or choose to ignore it and act like nothing had happened. Finally, students analyze what it looks like and what the repercussions can be for those who resist, collaborate, or ignore - not just during the Vietnam War era, but today as well. It's great for promoting critical thinking and making connections between the past and today! The download includes both printable and Google Docs versions of the activity along with directions pages for both the students and you as the teacher. You can also download this activity as part of the Cold War Complete Unit Bundle. Thanks so much for checking it out! Please "Like" my page on Facebook for updates, giveaways, links and more!

U.S. political and military difficulties in Iraq have prompted comparisons to the American war in Vietnam. How, in fact, do the two wars compare? What are the differences and similarities, and what insights can be gained from examining them? Does the Vietnam War have instructive lessons for those dealing with today's challenges in Iraq, or is that war simply irrelevant? In the pages that follow, two highly qualified analysts address these questions. Dr. Jeffrey Record, formerly a civilian pacification advisor in Vietnam and author of books on both the Vietnam and Iraq wars, and W. Andrew Terrill, author and co-author of several SSI studies on Iraq, conclude that the military dimensions of the two conflicts bear little comparison. Among other things, the sheer scale of the Vietnam War in terms of forces committed and losses incurred dwarfs that of the Iraq War. They also conclude, however, that failed U. S. state-building in Vietnam and the impact of declining domestic political support for U. S. war aims in Vietnam are issues pertinent to current U. S. policy in Iraq. The Strategic Studies Institute is pleased to offer this monograph as a contribution to the national security debate over Iraq. Douglas C. Lovelace, Jr. Director, Strategic Studies Institute
