Vietnam War
Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia. During the Cold War era, Vietnam was divided into North Vietnam and South Vietnam along the 17th parallel. North Vietnam was communist while South Vietnam was democratic and backed by the United States. Despite U.S. involvement and bombing campaigns, North Vietnam and the Viet Cong defeated South Vietnam and unified the country under communist rule in 1975. The Vietnam War resulted in over 3 million deaths and had lasting impacts on both Vietnam and the United States.
Vietnam War Powerpoint presentation
The Vietnam War was a proxy war between communist North Vietnam, backed by China and the Soviet Union, and South Vietnam, backed by the United States and other anti-communist countries. After France withdrew from Vietnam in 1954, the US increasingly intervened to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam. US involvement escalated throughout the 1960s, with massive bombing campaigns and increasing troop deployment. However, North Vietnamese forces and Viet Cong guerrillas continued their resistance. Public opinion in the US turned against the war as casualties mounted. The US withdrew from Vietnam in 1973, and North Vietnamese forces conquered South Vietnam in 1975.

Korean War
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korean troops invaded South Korea, crossing the 38th parallel border between the two countries. In response, United Nations forces led by the United States launched a counterattack and pushed the North Korean army back above the 38th parallel. However, Chinese troops then entered the war on the side of North Korea and drove UN forces back south. Fighting continued back and forth across the parallel until an armistice was signed in 1953, leaving Korea still divided along the 38th parallel between the communist North and non-communist South. Over 10 million people died during the three-year Korean War.
VIETNAM WAR - 04. THE FRENCH COLONISATION OF INDOCHINA
The French colonization of Vietnam began in 1858 when French troops entered the country under orders from Napoleon III. By 1893, the French had complete control over Vietnam after using a strategy of dividing and conquering. Vietnam was split into three parts administered as French Indochina, which also included Cambodia and Laos. The French economically exploited Vietnamese labor and resources, establishing plantations that led to thousands of deaths from disease and poor conditions. French colonization created a new class structure that divided Vietnamese society and laid the foundations for future resistance movements against French rule.
The Vietnam War
The document provides background information on the Vietnam War. It discusses:
- The war lasted from 1955 to 1975 between North Vietnam and the US-backed South Vietnamese government.
- Over 58,000 US troops and millions of Vietnamese civilians and soldiers were killed. The war cost the US $168-200 billion.
- The war escalated under presidents Kennedy and Johnson as the US increased support to South Vietnam against the North Vietnamese-backed Viet Cong. Heavy US bombing began in 1965 and US troop levels rose to over 500,000.
- Despite massive US military involvement, North Vietnam was able to withstand the attacks and launch the devastating Tet Offensive in 1968, weakening US public support for the war. Peace talks
Vietnam War
The Vietnam War began as an anti-colonial independence movement led by Ho Chi Minh against French rule. After World War 2, the French tried to reassert control over Vietnam but faced resistance from Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh forces. The United States intervened on France's side and continued supporting South Vietnam after the 1954 Geneva Accords split the country in two. US involvement escalated throughout the 1960s, but the 1968 Tet Offensive was a turning point that turned US public opinion against the war. Although the US withdrew in 1973, the war continued between North and South Vietnam until the South surrendered in 1975.
The Vietnam War
The Vietnam War grew out of Vietnam's long history as a French colony. After World War 2, Vietnam was divided into a communist North and democratic South. The US backed South Vietnam in an attempt to contain communism, believing that if South Vietnam fell, other countries would too. Despite US bombing campaigns and search/destroy missions that caused massive casualties, the Viet Cong waged a successful guerrilla war. US involvement became increasingly unpopular as the war dragged on. Ultimately, the US was unable to stop the communist takeover and North Vietnam reunified the country in 1975.
Reasons the usa lost the vietnam war - Strengths of north vietnam
North Vietnam had several strengths that contributed to the USA's defeat in the Vietnam War. Ho Chi Minh was popular with Vietnamese people for leading the successful rebellion against French control. This made people more likely to support rebel groups and not help American forces. Additionally, the North Vietnam Army and Vietcong knew the local terrain and used guerrilla tactics like ambushes. The Tet Offensive in 1968 involved attacks across South Vietnam and shocked American public opinion, even though it severely damaged the Vietcong forces. Overall, North Vietnam's popular support among Vietnamese people and military tactics like guerrilla warfare made it difficult for the US to achieve victory.
Us involvement in vietnam
The Vietnam War was the longest war in U.S. history, lasting over 20 years. More than 58,000 American soldiers were killed and over 300,000 were wounded. The war was deeply unpopular with the American public, with over 50% unable to explain the reasons for U.S. involvement.

After 20 years of conflict, over 1 million military personnel died and the US withdrew from Vietnam in 1975. This allowed North Vietnamese forces to take control of South Vietnam and reunify the country under communist rule. The war had lasting impacts through extensive bombing and herbicide use that continued affecting Vietnam for years.
The Cold War
Overview of the Cold War. Adapted from "Cold War in a Global Context" by William J. Tolley, "The Cold War" by T. Sothers and Hugh 07, and "Second Red Scare" by Paul Kitchen.
Origins of the Cold War
The Cold War began due to mutual distrust between the US and USSR following World War II. Though they allied against Hitler, ideological differences grew after the war as the Soviet Union installed communist governments across Eastern Europe and ignored promises of self-determination. Both sides wanted to spread their political and economic systems, seeing the other as inherently evil, leading to a policy of containment by the US and an arms race involving nuclear weapons that raised the stakes of a potential conflict.
The vietnam-war
The document provides background information on the Vietnam War between the United States and Vietnam. It discusses how the US initially provided aid to France in its war against Vietnam and later directly intervened out of concerns about communism spreading. It outlines key events that led to the escalation of US involvement such as the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that authorized the president to expand the war without congressional approval. The document also examines the impact of the war, including over 58,000 American deaths and over $200 billion spent.
The Cold War
Germany surrendered in 1945 and was divided and occupied by the Allies. The Potsdam Conference established this division and began de-Nazification efforts. Europe was largely bankrupt after the war while the US and USSR emerged as new superpowers. The Soviets wanted to rebuild the German economy to their benefit while the Americans prioritized self-determination, leading to the origins of the Cold War between them. Japan also surrendered in 1945 after atomic bombs were dropped and was remade under US occupation with a new constitution and demilitarization. These postwar changes established the foundations for the ensuing global Cold War conflict between capitalist and communist ideologies.
vietnam war background information
During the Cold War between the US and USSR after World War 2, the US became involved in the Vietnam War to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. The US feared that if Vietnam became communist it could lead other countries in the region to also become communist in a domino effect. Although the US initially only provided financial support, over the years its involvement transformed into sending soldiers to directly fight against communist forces in North Vietnam and the Viet Cong in South Vietnam. However, despite being a global superpower, the US was ultimately unable to win the Vietnam War, withdrawing from Saigon in 1975 in a humiliating defeat.

The Domino Theory proposed that if one country in a region came under communist control, neighboring countries would follow in a domino effect. Prime Minister Menzies subscribed to this theory, arguing that if South Vietnam did not maintain independence after the Vietnam War, other Southeast Asian countries like Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia could become vulnerable to communism spreading. A 1966 Liberal Party election poster visually depicted the Domino Theory to convince voters that preventing the spread of communism was important for Australia's security.
Containment Domino Theory
1) The document discusses the containment policy and domino theory that influenced US involvement in Vietnam.
2) The containment policy aimed to restrict communist expansion, while the domino theory held that if one country became communist others would follow.
3) The US grew involved in Vietnam to contain communism in Southeast Asia and prevent other countries from falling like dominoes, as the US believed happened after France's failure against communism in Vietnam in 1954.
The Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire preserved Roman and Greek culture after the fall of Rome. It blended these influences with Christianity and Middle Eastern styles. The empire reached its height under Justinian in the 6th century, when he reconquered territory and codified Roman laws. However, constant attacks weakened the Byzantines over time, and the empire ultimately fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. The Byzantines left a significant legacy in law, culture, art, and Eastern Orthodox Christianity.
What happened to Gaza during the 1967 war?
During the 1967 War, Israel occupied the Gaza Strip along with the West Bank and other territories. Gaza came under Israeli military control and its population increased dramatically. In the Oslo Accords of the 1990s, limited Palestinian self-rule was established in Gaza and Jericho, though Israel maintained overall security control until withdrawing settlements in 2005.
Inventions: The computer
The first electronic computer was created in 1941 by Konrad Suze at Iowa State University. Konrad Suze was a German computer scientist born in 1910 in Berlin who is credited with building the first computer before being called up for military service during World War II. The first computer was vastly different from modern computers, as early computers required searching for information in books and newspapers while now information can easily be found online with a Google search.

During Ramadan, eating or drinking in public during daylight hours is also prohibited. The document then discusses themes from the graphic novel Persepolis, including how the main character Marji did not understand the new veil requirement and the government's reasons for enforcing it. It also addresses how the Satrapi family's lifestyle and Marji's treatment changed with the new rules around parties, alcohol, and gender interaction. The impact of the Iran-
Rosinesita
Before the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, the Shah governed in a secular fashion that supported women's suffrage and education for both boys and girls together without religious interference. Iranian families traditionally lived in extended structures together, and women had greater rights, including in dress, compared to the weaker position they faced after the revolution imposed stricter religious influences over society and government.
Conflicts in Egypt-2
The document summarizes the political history and conflicts in Egypt since the 1950s. It discusses Egypt's transition from a British colony to a republic led by Nasser and various other presidents. It then focuses on the Arab Spring protests that overthrew Mubarak in 2011, the subsequent election of Morsi, and his eventual overthrow by the military. It concludes by noting Egypt has essentially returned to square one with an interim government and plans for new elections.

The vietnamwar
The Vietnam War began as a conflict between North and South Vietnam following their division in 1954. The U.S. initially sent advisors and then troops to support South Vietnam against communist North Vietnam and Viet Cong forces. Despite massive U.S. bombing and troop deployments, the Tet Offensive in 1968 showed the war was not going well. Growing domestic opposition led to U.S. withdrawal under Nixon and the fall of South Vietnam to communist forces in 1975. The human and financial costs for the U.S. and Vietnam were immense. The war left deep scars and lessons about the difficulties of asymmetric warfare.
Lbj and vietnam
LBJ greatly expanded social programs under the Great Society but became bogged down in the Vietnam War. He escalated US involvement despite growing domestic opposition. By 1968 the Tet Offensive showed the war was unwinnable, leading LBJ to not seek re-election. The war deeply divided the US and eroded trust in government. It ended in 1975 with a communist victory in Vietnam after the US withdrew.
The vietnam war (4)
The Vietnam War caused immense loss of life and deeply divided American society. Over 50,000 US troops and millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians were killed in the long and unsuccessful US effort to contain communism in Southeast Asia. Growing public opposition led to major protests and political upheaval in the US. Ultimately, the US withdrew and South Vietnam fell to a North Vietnamese communist government in 1975. The war left a legacy of distrust in government and trauma for many veterans.

The vietnam war new
The Vietnam War began as a conflict between North Vietnam and South Vietnam following the end of French colonial rule. The United States initially provided support to France in its war against Ho Chi Minh and later directly intervened in the war under the Eisenhower and Johnson administrations due to fears that communism would spread across Southeast Asia if North Vietnam prevailed. Despite massive U.S. military escalation and bombing campaigns, the Vietnam War became increasingly unpopular at home due to rising casualties and anti-war protests. The Tet Offensive of 1968 marked a major turning point that turned U.S. public opinion against the war, and the Nixon administration pursued a policy of Vietnamization to gradually withdraw U.S. troops while turning over more responsibility

1) 1945-1964 where the US assisted France and later South Vietnam
2) 1964-1968 saw escalation under President Johnson as US troops grew from 15,000 to 500,000
3) 1969-1973 was Nixon's Vietnamization strategy which aimed to gradually withdraw US troops while strengthening South Vietnam.
Vietnam War Overview
The Vietnam War began in 1954 as an effort by the United States to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. Under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, U.S. involvement escalated through military advising and direct combat troops. The 1968 Tet Offensive turned U.S. public opinion against the war as it showed the Viet Cong were not close to defeat. Growing anti-war protests and the release of the Pentagon Papers further eroded support. Under President Nixon, Vietnamization transitioned fighting to the South Vietnamese army but Saigon fell to North Vietnam in 1975, marking the end of the war.
The vietnam war 2014
The Vietnam War began in 1954 as an effort by the United States to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. Under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, U.S. involvement escalated through military advising and direct combat troops. The 1968 Tet Offensive shocked the American public and turned sentiment against the war. Mass protests emerged as the war dragged on under Nixon, who pursued Vietnamization and peace negotiations. The war ended in 1975 with the fall of Saigon to North Vietnamese forces.
1 Vietnam War
The Vietnam War lasted from 1954 to 1975 and involved military escalation by the United States in an attempt to prevent South Vietnam from falling to communist control. It began as a war of independence against the French and resulted in the partition of Vietnam into communist North Vietnam and democratic South Vietnam. Despite massive U.S. military involvement and bombing campaigns, the U.S. struggled against Vietnamese guerrilla tactics and growing domestic anti-war sentiment. This led to the withdrawal of U.S. troops and the eventual defeat of South Vietnam in 1975.
JFK, LBJ, and Vietnam, c. 1960-1973.pdf
JFK initially sent advisors to South Vietnam and increased troops to 16,000 to contain communism under the domino theory. LBJ significantly escalated US involvement through bombing campaigns and sending 500,000 ground troops, seeking to avoid another China. However, the Tet Offensive in 1968 turned US public opinion against the war, and massive protests erupted. Nixon continued bombing but started withdrawing troops and Vietnamizing the war. The US withdrew in 1973 after failed peace negotiations, and South Vietnam fell to communism in 1975. The war cost 58,000 US lives and over 3 million Vietnamese deaths but failed to achieve US objectives.
Vietnam
France ruled Vietnam from the late 1800s until being defeated by the Viet Minh in 1954. Ho Chi Minh led the Vietnamese independence movement seeking to end foreign rule. The US became increasingly involved through the 1950s and 1960s, escalating its military commitment despite growing domestic opposition. Protests and divisions over the war mounted until the US withdrew and South Vietnam fell to the Communists in 1975.
Vietnam
France ruled Vietnam from the late 1800s until being defeated by the Viet Minh in 1954. Ho Chi Minh led the Vietnamese independence movement seeking to end foreign rule. The US increasingly involved itself in the war between North Vietnam and US-backed South Vietnam throughout the 1960s. Heavy US bombing and troop escalation failed to defeat the Viet Cong guerrillas. Growing anti-war sentiment and a stalemate led the US to withdraw from Vietnam in 1973, and North Vietnamese forces conquered South Vietnam in 1975.
The vietnam war 2014 normal version
The Vietnam War began in 1954 after France withdrew from Vietnam and the country was divided between a communist North Vietnam and non-communist South Vietnam. The United States became increasingly involved over the following decades by sending advisors, troops, and conducting extensive bombing campaigns to prevent the spread of communism. However, the US struggled to defeat the Vietnamese guerilla fighters and faced growing domestic opposition to the war. Despite temporary gains, the US was unable to achieve victory and withdrew from Vietnam in 1973. This ultimately led to the fall of South Vietnam to North Vietnamese forces in 1975.
Vietnam War 1st Period Guyer
The document provides an overview of the Vietnam War through a series of sections that discuss key events and aspects of the war. It covers who was involved in the war, when and where it took place, the reasons for US involvement, how soldiers experienced combat, protests against the war by hippies, and images that depict some of the brutality of the war. In the end, the document concludes that the war was a waste of lives and that the outcome would have been the same even if the US had not sent troops.
Proxy wars2
The Vietnam War began as a conflict between Vietnam's nationalist movement led by Ho Chi Minh and the French colonial government. After the French were defeated in 1954, Vietnam was divided between a communist North backed by Ho Chi Minh and a non-communist South. Tensions rose as South Vietnam's leader Diem grew increasingly authoritarian and suppressed Buddhists. As the Viet Cong insurgency in the South expanded due to Diem's unpopularity, the US increased support for South Vietnam but struggled against guerrilla warfare. Despite withdrawing troops under Nixon, the US was unable to prevent a North Vietnamese victory and the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule in 1975.
Vietnam notes
- The document provides a timeline and overview of key events in the Vietnam War from 1946 to 1975, including the U.S. decision to support France in recolonizing Vietnam after WWII, the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, escalating U.S. involvement and bombing campaigns under Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson, and the Tet Offensive that turned U.S. public opinion against the war.
- It discusses tactics like search and destroy missions, use of Agent Orange, and the growing anti-war movement. The war deeply divided the U.S. and took a heavy toll in lives until the final U.S. withdrawal and fall of Saigon to North Vietnam in 1975.

The new imperialism notes
The document summarizes the spread of European imperialism in Africa and Asia between the late 1800s and early 1900s. It discusses the economic, political, and social factors that drove countries like Britain, France, and Germany to colonize parts of Africa and Asia. It also describes the resistance of some African and Asian nations to European colonization and the different forms imperial rule took, such as direct colonies, protectorates, and spheres of influence. Finally, it provides context on the decline of Muslim empires like the Ottomans and challenges faced by nations like Egypt, Iran, India, and China from European imperial expansion.
Nationalism triumphs in europe
This document summarizes the rise of nationalism and unification movements in Germany and Italy in the 19th century. It discusses how Bismarck used war and diplomacy to unify the German states and create a German Empire by 1871. It also outlines the obstacles to Italian unity and how figures like Cavour and Garibaldi helped overcome these obstacles and create a unified Italian state by 1870. The document also briefly discusses the challenges these new nations faced, as well as nationalism within other European empires like Austria-Hungary and Russia.
Economic systems
Capitalism is an economic system where private individuals and businesses own production and operate for profit with little government involvement. Socialism is a system where the people collectively own property and businesses through government control and ownership, and pay higher taxes for more public benefits. A mixed economy combines elements of capitalism and socialism with both private and state-run enterprises like the US postal service. Communism is a form of socialism with complete government control and no class system, though it has never truly existed.
Industrialization
The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century and transformed the country from a rural, agricultural society to an urban, industrialized one. New technologies like the steam engine and water frame allowed for mechanized production in factories, while canals and railroads improved transportation of goods. This led to rapid urbanization and the rise of industrial cities, though early industrialization also brought poor working conditions, health issues, and inequality to growing urban populations. The textile industry was an early driver of the Industrial Revolution through the development of mechanized cotton spinning and weaving.
Birth of the american republic
This document summarizes the birth of the American republic, including the ratification of the US Constitution by the original 13 colonies between 1787-1790. It describes growing discontent in the colonies over new taxes passed by Parliament without colonial representation, leading to events like the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party. It outlines the writing of the Declaration of Independence and American Revolution. Finally, it discusses the creation of the US Constitution which established the federal republic and separation of powers, with George Washington as the first president and the addition of the Bill of Rights.
Enlightenment
The document discusses the spread and influence of Enlightenment ideas during the 18th century, including how they promoted scientific progress and new views of government based on natural rights and social contracts. It examines how Enlightenment thinkers like philosophes influenced rulers in Europe and how censorship and salons helped spread new ideas. Specific rulers like Frederick the Great and Catherine the Great are discussed as being influenced by Enlightenment thinking. The arts during this period including works by artists like Rembrandt, Velasquez, Bernini and Rubens are also summarized. The document then shifts to discussing developments in Britain like the growth of constitutional government and political parties as well as King George III's efforts to restore royal power. It concludes by out
Turbulent centuries in africa
The document discusses the Atlantic slave trade which began in the 1500s to supply labor for Spain's colonies. Traders relied on African rulers to capture people and sell them on the coast in exchange for goods brought by merchant ships. This developed into a triangular trade route where slaves were transported to the West Indies then traded for goods that were brought back to Europe or American colonies. It is estimated that over 11 million enslaved Africans reached the Americas between the 1500s and 1800s, with around 2 million dying during the Middle Passage voyage.
Struggles for north america
French explorers and fur traders claimed land from Quebec to the Great Lakes and down the Mississippi to Louisiana, though the population grew slowly. The 13 English colonies saw early settlers establish Jamestown, Virginia in 1607 and the Pilgrims land at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620, with settlers in New England becoming farmers and those in Southern colonies developing a plantation economy. Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War between 1754-1763, gaining dominance over North America and taking control of French territories east of the Mississippi River according to the Peace Treaty of Paris, while Native Americans were weakened by disease and their trails were used by settlers moving west.
Spanish and portuguese colonies in the americas
The document summarizes the establishment and development of Spanish and Portuguese colonies in the Americas. It discusses how Spain ruled its vast empire through the Council of the Indies and viceroys. Economically, the colonies relied on silver, gold, and plantation agriculture worked by native Americans and enslaved Africans. Over time African slaves began to outnumber other groups. The social structure placed peninsulares and creoles at the top and various racial groups at the bottom. Cities developed as centers of government, commerce, and culture. While European influence grew, native and African cultural elements were also incorporated into the new colonial societies.
Conquest in the americas
The document summarizes early encounters between Europeans and indigenous peoples in the Americas. It describes Christopher Columbus landing in the West Indies in 1492 and encountering the friendly Taino people. It then discusses the conquests of Hernan Cortes of the Aztecs in Mexico in 1521 and Francisco Pizarro's destruction of the Incas in Peru in 1532. The Spanish were able to defeat the Aztec and Inca empires through superior technology, exploiting divisions among indigenous groups, and diseases that weakened native populations.
Encounters in east asia
European traders in China during this period were strictly limited to conducting trade only in Canton and were required to leave once the trading season ended. While Chinese rulers welcomed Western scholars and their knowledge, they refused to adopt Western rules for trade. The Manchus established Qing rule over China in the 1600s, adopting Chinese Confucian government while also prohibiting intermarriage with the Chinese and footbinding for Manchu women. Korea responded to foreign influence by isolating itself, except for limited contact with China and Japan, due to its view of merchants as low status. Japan initially welcomed European missionaries but grew hostile toward foreigners over time, severely persecuting Christians and isolating itself for 200 years under the Tokugawa shog
3. european footholds in southeast asia and india
Portugal established a trading empire in Asia in the 16th century through military and merchant outposts, controlling the spice trade route between Europe and Asia. While they lacked the strength to conquer much land, their missionaries destroyed Hindu temples and introduced the Inquisition. In the 17th century, the Dutch East India Company formed and seized control of the spice trade using force and allying with local rulers. They captured Malacca and opened trade with China. Spain also claimed the Philippines in the 16th century and used it as a key link to ship goods between Mexico, Peru, and China. India led in textile manufacturing and exported silk and cotton, while Britain and France struggled for power over Indian trading posts in the 18th
Diverse traditions of southeast asia
Southeast Asia has a diverse geography and was populated by many ethnic groups speaking different languages who settled the region. Indian culture had a significant impact, with Indians marrying into influential families and spreading religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Powerful kingdoms emerged like the Khmer Empire in Cambodia, which built the temple complex of Angkor Wat, and Srivijaya in Indonesia, which blended Indian beliefs with local nature spirits. Vietnam developed a distinct culture in its Red River Delta, learning from China's conquest but maintaining its own identity.
European Exploration The Search for Spices
The document discusses early European exploration beginning in the 15th century driven by desires for spices, wealth, and spreading Christianity. It summarizes key voyages including Prince Henry the Navigator exploring Africa's coast, Vasco da Gama reaching India, Columbus sailing west and making landfall in the Americas, Balboa crossing the Isthmus of Panama, and Magellan's circumnavigation proving the world was round while searching for a western route to Asia. The Pope divided newly explored lands between Spain and Portugal, fueling further exploration of North and South America and Asia in search of riches.
Scientific revolution
The document discusses key figures and developments of the Scientific Revolution such as Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and Brahe who advanced the heliocentric model of the solar system. It also outlines the scientific method as a process involving stating a problem, forming a hypothesis, experimenting, analyzing data, stating a conclusion and repeating steps. Finally, it mentions some scientific advances made in chemistry by identifying elements/compounds and in medicine through studying anatomy and using microscopes.
The renaissance moves north notes
The Renaissance spread north from Italy to countries like France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, and England in the 15th-16th centuries. Notable Northern Renaissance artists included Albrecht Durer, Jan and Hubert van Eyck, and Peter Bruegal. Humanists like Erasmus used classical languages and pressed for social reform. The printing press, pioneered by Johann Gutenberg, made books cheaper and more accessible, contributing to higher literacy rates across social classes.

Reformation ideas spread
King Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church after the Pope refused to annul his marriage, leading Henry to establish the Church of England. This started the English Reformation and spread Protestant ideas. Religious turmoil followed under kings Edward VI and Mary I as they alternated between Protestant and Catholic rule. Elizabeth I later passed reforms with the Elizabethan Settlement that created the Anglican Church and preserved Catholic rituals and hierarchy except for the Pope. The Catholic Church also reacted with the Catholic Reformation led by Pope Paul III, which strengthened the Inquisition and aimed to end corruption and revive the Church's moral authority. Widespread persecution occurred during this time as people looked for scapegoats, targeting Jews, witches, and other religious groups.
The protestant reformation
The Protestant Reformation began as a protest by Martin Luther against abuses in the Catholic Church like selling indulgences and the Pope's political power. Luther argued salvation came through faith alone according to the Bible, not Church authority or priests, and translated the Bible to German. His ideas spread rapidly as a response to Church corruption, forming the Protestants. John Calvin similarly preached salvation by predestination alone and set up theocracies where the church governed.

- Kennedy’s advisors were clearly fighting a covert war by 1963. MacNamara has suggested that he believes Kennedy would have pulled the U.S. out, but evidence in inconclusive. JFK realizes Diem is a liability; offers quiet support to a Vietnamese military coup d’etat. The coup results in the brutal murders of Diem and his brother The Vietnamese generals overthrow one another. A relatively stable, but tyrannical government emerges. It is little better than Diem’s.
- What Johnson told Congress What he didn’t tell Congress: He had already written the resolution before the “incident.” The U.S. naval vessels were aiding ARVN in commando raids in North Vietnam at the time. He learned that the attack probably hadn’t occurred. The U.S. navy was not on the “high seas” but in N. Vietnam’s 12 mile territorial limit.

- Nixon’s “secret” plan never materializes. He involved us more. “ Peace with Honor” We’ll win befoe we withdraw. Expansion:Cambodia invaded in 1970: Ho Chi Minh Trail Laos invaded in 1971: Ho Chi Minh Trail
- Nixon resigns over the Watergate Scandal in 1974. Ford takes the helm.
- Many U.S.-loyal South Vietnamese attempt to flee for fear of execution by the North.
- Diversion of capital to the war indirectly caused economic recession: 11% inflation and 12% unemployment!
- War Powers Act ., 1973, passed over Nixon's veto, requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of his use of military force in a foreign country or enlarging an ongoing conflict. The President must secure Congressional approval if he intends to keep these troops overseas for more than 60 days. If he doesn't, he must withdraw the forces. Congress can pass a joint resolution to withdraw the troops before the 60 day deadline. (Each President since has denied its validity, though the issue has never been tested.)
