In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 8 Topic 8 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 8 (1945-1980).
As the French colony of Indochina (Vietnam) threw off its colonial rulers, it quickly became a pawn for a proxy war in the larger context of the Cold War. North Vietnam settled into a communist government led by Ho Chi Minh, while South Vietnam remained democratic and had strong ties to the United States.
John F. Kennedy had been sending "military advisors" to Vietnam by the thousands, and when the North Vietnamese invaded the South, American troops were already on the ground.
After Kennedy's assassination, Lyndon B. Johnson took office and sought to win the war by incremental escalation, which never seemed to work. However, the Gulf of Tonkin incident gave Johnson all the pretext he needed to ask Congress to give him authority to continue the military escalation. It wasn't an official declaration of war, and that became very controversial in time.
However, after years of escalation and mounting protests at home, Johnson finally ended the push for more soldiers in Vietnam. Richard Nixon adopted the policy of Vietnamization in order to facilitate American extraction from the war.

Hey Mr. Heimler, greetings from South Korea! I'm a sophomore at an international high school. My APWH class is benefiting hugely from your content, and I couldn't thank you enough for that. Your vids + my UGA superfan teacher are giving the entire grade level some serious southern accents when we've never even been there...
don't become commie my friend. stay democratic
@@abraarahmed3823 embrace commie, reject democratic
@@pinkpanther7442 stay based
i didn't know heimler had international viewers!
@@abraarahmed3823 communist≠not democratic capitalism≠democratic
Hi. Mr. Heimler, I just took my APUSH test after religiously watching your videos to prepare. I think I got a 4 or 5. I just wanted to say thanks so much for your help! I think your videos helped me more than my AP class, to be honest.
what did you get? mine is tmrw :')
@@kashish5421 I got a 3, but the videos helped me beyond the test. I actually use this info. In classes since I'm working on getting my associates of the arts.
@@abbybemak2070 k
@@abbybemak2070 great job !
I love how everytime the US fights someone, its cuz a boat was touched,
Impressment of Sailors - War of 1812
Firing on Fort Sumpter because a supply boat went past - Civil War
USS Maine - Spanish American War
Lusitania - WW1
Pearl Harbor - WW2
Gulf of Tonkin Incident - Vietnam
I noticed that too, lol
WRONG😂
We do have a famous historical general who wrote that naval power was the key to US might, so I can see why we’d protect it so vehemently 😂
Haven't you ever heard? The only rule America really has with other nations is "don't touch our boats!"
Whoever disliked the video deserves to drink hotdog water
I did
heimler has literally saved me in AP Euro and APUSH. Thank you!
This the only reason I passed the AP test last year😂😂😃
Your videos are pretty awesome! While I am a non-AP teacher, I like listening to your world history videos. Today I thought "I wonder how he handles American history?" You get an A+ from me!
I always like to point out how different history would have been if we had TV during the American society. HEADLINE: George Washington abuses troops at Valley Forge!
Why did you not talk about the My Lai massacre?
I love the 2 guys who dislike all ur videos, they're like "yeah, ik these videos r nice as heck but I can't help but be a sore buttocks and dislike em." somebody's gotta do it I guess
Oxford history textbooks are revised based on Steve’s videos
mr history i appreciate u making these videos i love you thanks for doing this
It was (just checked) the USS Maddox DD 731, a late WWII Sumner class destroyer, that was attacked by two torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonkin. I only mention this because there is different level of intensity there per the situation. A ten thousand ton battleship would be a whole lot more intimidating than a swift little destroyer. (Pre guided missile variant hence the DD instead of DDG).
misleading to call ngo dinh diem democratic. he was brutal and repressive.
Is there going to be a counter culture video for the 60s/70s?
Yep... next week
@@heimlershistory let’s go! thanks my social studies father!
Good luck on your tests everyone :D
fingers crossed!
Man said
South Vietnamese: ‘’ I’m feeling pretty good’’
United States : “ Shit your yapping and get ready for pew pew”
😂
Quit I mean sorry for the cuss word
cramming for the apush exam💪
Ahhh counterinsurgency. My favourite topic. Where the Americans will forget the lesson of the past. Still hoped Vietnamization succeed. For the British it was the Malayan Emergency.
good luck guys
Amazing video! Just wanna say South Vietnam was hardly democratic either😂
collab ep. with adam norris?
i’m not so sure about the United States fighting for “democracy” in this war… the last thing I’d call Diem is democratic. first thing i’d call him is a dictator, then cruel, barbaric, corrupt, etc. we were fighting for capitalism and our own interests, not democracy.
Yeah no, he closed elections to secure his vote. The opposite of democratic in fact
If it wasn't confirmed that North Vietnam that fired on the ship then what else could've happened?
Bad storm conditions are considered the likely cause for damage.
It was confirmed. Heimler is incorrect. Sonar operators by no doubt detected launched torpedos on the day of the incident. What is disputed and what Heimler is referring to is whether or not a reattack a few days later ever occured. However there is no doubt that the USS Maddox was fired on by North Vietnamese torpedo boats.
Question can I use the plessy v furgeson case as outside evidence saying that it deemed segregation legal?
5 days...
Damn we are so far behind in my class lol
Your class is behind? We’re covering Vietnam tomorrow...
@@aidanmaggio5538 we are so far away from the Vietnam war
@@aidanmaggio5538 we haven’t even gotten into unit 7, so I’m taking matters into my own hands now lol
@@davidislegit7508 fr I'm just hoping there aren't any written sections on anything past 6
it’s actually so over
who came from discord?
This is the garbage that they teach our children in schools?
No mention of Dak son, Hue, VC child soldiers, Chinese intervention, Khmer Rouge, etc. Seems legit.
@@noco7243 because this is AP US History.
its better than reading bland text in a text book for 2 hours striaght than spending another boring hour doing school work at home. and AP is easier than duel credit.
and if this is garbage then tell me what could be more engaging,fun,and entertaining all while learning something. besides a simulation friday (since saturday is off it can't be simulation saturday)
@@noco7243 This is the quick review. Not the in depth review.
@@noco7243 APUSH is a skills-based course, not a content-based one. The syllabus has to cram every event that the US was involved in into the space of a high school course, of course they can't go into deep detail. My teacher had to stuff all of imperialism into a single class block.
