The American Revolution was a war between the 13 American colonies and Great Britain from 1775-1783. Key events included the Boston Massacre, battles at Lexington and Concord, and the Battle of Saratoga. Brothers often found themselves on opposing sides, like loyalist Henry Pensell who was executed by his brother. The Revolution featured iconic leaders like George Washington and Benedict Arnold. Through guerrilla tactics and key victories, the colonists were eventually able to gain independence from Britain with help from French allies.
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. Starting in the 1950s, the U.S. became increasingly involved in the conflict to prevent the spread of communism. By the 1960s, the U.S. had sent hundreds of thousands of troops to Vietnam but struggled against North Vietnamese guerilla tactics. Public opinion in the U.S. began turning against the war, especially after the Tet Offensive of 1968 showed the conflict was more prolonged than expected. The U.S. gradually withdrew from Vietnam in the early 1970s, and North Vietnam unified the country in 1975.
The document summarizes how the Vietnamese defeated the French and Americans in the Vietnam War. It describes key battles like Dien Bien Phu where the Viet Minh defeated the French, forcing their withdrawal. It then outlines the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army's effective guerrilla tactics against the US, like ambushes, booby traps, and an extensive tunnel network. Chemical weapons like Agent Orange were used by the US but took a heavy toll. Major offensives like the Tet Offensive showed the war was not going well for the US, and American public support waned, leading to their ultimate withdrawal and the North Vietnamese victory in 1975.

The Associated Press photographers in Saigon captured powerful images that showed the realities and human toll of the Vietnam War. Their photos included scenes of wounded civilians and soldiers, children fleeing attacks, and grieving families. The AP coverage earned multiple Pulitzer Prizes and helped show Americans the harsh realities of the war.
US tactics in the Vietnam War included search and destroy missions, carpet bombing campaigns, and the use of chemical weapons like napalm and Agent Orange. Search and destroy missions often resulted in high civilian casualties and turned local villagers against the US, while bombing campaigns targeted North Vietnamese supply lines and potential Viet Cong strongholds. The immense financial cost of these tactics was unacceptable to the US public. Viet Cong tactics focused on guerrilla warfare through ambushes and booby traps, which accounted for over half of US casualties and instilled great fear in US troops.
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.

The American Revolution began in 1775 as a conflict between American patriots and the British Empire over independence. While the British had initial successes, key American victories like those at Trenton and Saratoga boosted patriot morale. France then entered the war as an American ally in 1778 after being inspired by the American triumph at Saratoga. The final major battle was at Yorktown in 1781, where American and French forces trapped Cornwallis's army and forced their surrender, prompting Britain to negotiate American independence.

The document summarizes the key events of the Vietnam War from French colonization of Vietnam to the US involvement and withdrawal. It discusses how Vietnam was initially a French colony exporting goods. The Vietnamese people grew tired of French rule and Ho Chi Minh formed the Viet Min army to fight against French control. This led to war between the French and Viet Min forces. The US became involved due to anti-communist sentiments and helped the French fight against Ho Chi Minh's communist forces. This expanded into a war between the US and Viet Cong groups seeking independence, which saw heavy American casualties over years of guerilla warfare until the US ultimately withdrew from Vietnam.
The document provides an overview of the Vietnam War, including key statistics and events. It discusses the public opinion of the war in the US, the escalating US involvement over multiple presidential administrations, and major battles like the Tet Offensive and My Lai Massacre. It also covers the anti-war movement in the US and protests on college campuses against US involvement in Vietnam.
The document provides information about tactics used in the Vietnam War by the Viet Cong and United States. It describes how the Viet Cong used guerilla warfare tactics like ambushes, booby traps, and blending in with civilians to wear down US forces. Meanwhile, US strategies like search and destroy missions and bombing had mixed results and failed to defeat the Communists. The Tet Offensive showed the limits of US military power and was a turning point that turned US public opinion against the war.
The document summarizes the key events that led to the end of US involvement in the Vietnam War, including peace negotiations between the US, South Vietnam, and North Vietnam beginning in 1968. The Paris Peace Accords were signed in January 1973, formally ending US military action, though fighting continued between South and North Vietnam. South Vietnam eventually fell to Communist North Vietnamese forces in April 1975.
The document provides an overview of the Vietnam War from 1959-1975, including key events and perspectives from both sides.

It also discusses the ongoing impacts on veterans including issues like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and exposure to Agent Orange.
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 American Revolutionary War began in 1775 with several key events that led to the colonists declaring independence from Britain. The causes of the war included Britain imposing taxes on the colonies to pay off war debts without colonial representation. Major battles included Bunker Hill, Trenton, Saratoga, and Yorktown. With support from France after the Battle of Saratoga, the Americans were able to turn the tide of the war. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which recognized American independence and established the new borders of the United States.
The document discusses the increasing involvement of the United States in Vietnam from 1945 to 1965. It notes the progression from financial support to political involvement to direct military involvement. Two key events that triggered greater American involvement were the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, which led to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution granting war powers, and the landing of 3,500 US marines in Da Nang in 1965, marking the beginning of direct American ground combat operations.
The document summarizes the events surrounding the My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War and the impact it had on public support for the war in the US. In March 1968, US soldiers from Charlie Company massacred approximately 400 Vietnamese civilians in My Lai village, finding no Viet Cong soldiers. The massacre was initially covered up but was later exposed by Ronald Ridenhour, who sent letters to politicians about war crimes. Photos published in Life magazine further revealed the atrocities. Lieutenant William Calley was ultimately found guilty of 22 counts of murder for his role in the massacre. The exposure of the massacre deeply shocked the American public and undermined support for the war, fueling large anti-war protests.
The Vietnam War lasted from 1954 to 1975 and divided the United States. It began as an effort to prevent South Vietnam from falling to communism with U.S. military advisors supporting South Vietnam. However, the Viet Cong insurgency and North Vietnamese army made the war very difficult for the U.S. The Tet Offensive in 1968 was a major turning point that turned U.S. public opinion against the war. Protests against the war grew significantly. The U.S. began withdrawing troops under Nixon and a ceasefire was reached in 1973, though South Vietnam fell to communism in 1975. Over 58,000 U.S. soldiers died in the war.
France had controlled Vietnam since the 1800s, but faced growing Vietnamese nationalism. After World War 2, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam independent but France wanted to retake control. This sparked war between the French forces and Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh rebels from 1946-1954. Despite support from the US, the French faced difficult guerilla warfare and growing Viet Minh strength due to aid from China and the USSR. This culminated in the French defeat at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, forcing France to withdraw and leave Vietnam divided pending reunification elections.
The Japanese attacked the Philippines hours after bombing Pearl Harbor. US forces under Douglas MacArthur retreated to Bataan Peninsula but later surrendered, leading to the brutal Bataan Death March. In response to these defeats, the US launched Doolittle's Raid on Tokyo and won a major victory at the Battle of Midway in 1942, marking a turning point in the war against Japan in the Pacific. Meanwhile, the Soviets defeated the Germans at Stalingrad, another major turning point. The Allies also had success in North Africa. These victories put Germany and Japan on the defensive for the remainder of the war.
The Civil War had major consequences in Georgia. Key events included Fort Sumter being fired upon, starting the war, and Sherman's Atlanta Campaign and March to the Sea, which were devastating for the state. Major battles on Georgia soil included Chickamauga, where the Confederacy had its last major victory, and Sherman finally took Atlanta after months of fighting across the state.

- 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
1) In the 1920s, the US pursued an isolationist foreign policy in the aftermath of World War 1 and refused to join international agreements or recognize the Soviet Union.
2) During World War 2, the US initially pursued neutrality but gradually increased aid to Britain through cash-and-carry and eventually lend-lease programs before entering the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
3) The US mobilized its massive industrial capacity to support the war effort as an "arsenal of democracy" and emerged from the war as the most powerful nation with unprecedented economic prosperity and an expanded role for the federal government.
The document summarizes America's entry into World War II. Although the U.S. remained neutral at first, President Roosevelt helped Britain and France through measures like revising neutrality laws and passing the Lend-Lease Act.

7. American Revolution War Strategies
American Strategy
◦ - America did not have an real strategy at the beginning of the war
◦ George Washington takes over with his Continental Army on July 3rd, 1775
and things begin to get more structured
◦ Many feel that George Washington was a great leader who knew which battles
to fight and others to avoid, and others feel he was just lucky
◦ Luck or no luck Washington found success using a run and gun strategy called
guerrilla warfare
◦ The Americans used the guerrilla warfare much like the Vietnamese had in
the Vietnam war to defeat the Americans. The Viet Cong knew the land and
would use quick attacks and then flee before they had to face the counter
attack. The Patriots did the same thing and would corner the British troops
and then flee before the stronger army could retaliate.

20. Leaders for the American Colonies
General George Washington: Washington was a famous General who went on to be the first
President of the United States. He wore his medals from the American Revolution with pride
during his presidency.
General Benedict Arnold: Was the colonial governor of Rhode Island. He was given
education, but not a very studios young man. He ran away at a young age and joined an
expedition against the French, but returned home. Arnold eventually turned himself into
British troops after one of his men was found with incriminating evidence. Benedict Arnold
returned to Europe
General Charles Lee: He was the most experienced military leader, and the best fight for
Commander in chief. However, he was born in England, and demanded to be paid for his
service, while Washington would fight for free! Lee did not respect Washington and during
the Battle of Monmouth he ordered a retreat after Washington ordered his men to advance.
22. Leaders for the British Forces
King George III: He was the King of Great Britain and was the main reason for the war. His
unfair taxing on the American colonies causes the war
Thomas Gage: British Army General who was sent to America to lead British troops in the
American Revolution. He lead at the Battle of the Bunker Hill and Battles of Lexington and
Concord
General John Burgoyne: Entered the British Army as a young man and moved up the ranks
over time. He was a promising leader and his troops respected him very much. He lost his
leadership title after his troops were defeated and he returned to Europe. He eventually
regained his rankings when his friends took office, but decided to live a more private life
following the American Revolution
24. Minute Men
Minute men were civilians who trained themselves to defend the colonies and fight off
British forces. The men of each town would train together and prepare for British invasions.
These men were self taught, and also used their own strategies and leadership skills to
combat the powerful Great Britain. The minute men formed a determined militia and fought
for what they believed in, and their legacy today still remains.
25. Weapons of the American Revolution
The musket was a popular rifle that was introduced during the American
Revolution. The bullets were a round slug and if you were stuck the injuries
were often fatal. The slug was so heavy it could take off limbs and the
injuries were hard to treat. Eventually the rifled barrel came into play, which
spun the slug and made it much more accurate
Cannons: Cannons were used to hold back forces, but they would also be
attached to Naval ships
The Navy used cannons to fight at the sea, and the American Revolution was
one of the first wars that the American Navy saw battles at sea
28. British troops during the American
Revolution would wear red. This is how
they got the nick name Red Coats
29. American Revolution Conclusion
The American Revolution was like no other war, because the wars were fought in the
colonies. The battles took places in popular cities, and often times American citizens
(minute men) would join in battle to defend their country. The American Revolution was
the most important war, because if we hadn’t been won we may still be part of Great Britain
today.
