The Vietnam War was the longest war in the United Stated history, American fear the spread of communist, then send their soldier, money and weapons to support South Vietnam where thousand miles away from American.


We are doing the documentary for the Vietnam War. The topic for our NHD Project is why American involved in the Vietnam War. It got us interested in the topic, because it is a disaster in the American history which causes an anti-war in their own country, when the Vietnam War start many of the American college students were protesting the United Stated being in Vietnam. If I was a college student in 1960-1970, I would also want to protest the war.

During the work, we had interviewed a man who had been sending to South Vietnam for fighting when he was 19 years old. In common, many people at that age would enjoy their time with their friends or family, but because of the Vietnam War, a war that wastes people time and life,

When we first start the project, we thought it was just a common war. But gradually, we know it was a unpopulated war. The Vietnam was a colony of French under their govern for a hundred year.And it then escapsed from France, then the Vietnam seperated into two parts, one is communist government(the North Vietnam), another part is uncommunist governmen(the South Vietnam), and the war was start for reunify the whole country, it began from 1959 to April 30,1975.

Doing the work, we had faced many challenges, such as we need to check the truth of the information whether is right or not. We should go to he library or Internet to research the sources, and finally, fix them for organized information. When we doing the project, because of the language problem, we can’t easy understand the main point of the source. But we finally overcomed it, we asked our tutor to explains the mainly thinks for us, and we also looked for some information about Vietnam War written in Chinese.

At the end of the war the United States began to pull their troops out of Vietnam. The involvement of American made their people angry. The war killed American boys in the war, it dropped the United States into a terrible time. Many younger people were drafted in the services for the war, the United States government put some National-Guidemen to stop the protest in the college, and sometimes they kill the protestor. The war was finally ended with defeat South Vietnam, North Vietnam unify the whole country under the communist government.

People asked us why we chosen the documentary, because we think the documentary could affectible and easier et people understand the whole thing. It is vivid than those like exhibit or paper. It let people feel not that boring, it had a condign attraction.
