The Korean and Vietnam Wars | Learn all about the wars in Korea and Vietnam

What do you know about the wars that the United States of America has participated in? In this video, you and your students will learn about the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the conflicts that caused the wars, and the resulting effects on the countries involved.

After World War II, Japan lost control and occupation of Korea. The country divided at the 38th parallel, with North Korea as a communist country and South Korea as a capitalist country. The two areas did not get along, even before the war. The two countries officially split, and in June of 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea and began the war.

The Korean War ended up being a fairly short war, but many lives were lost, including civilians of the country and U.S. military. The Vietnam War followed shortly after and lasted 20 years. The United States sent troops to Vietnam about 10 years after the war began after Ho Chi Minh declared war against South Vietnam and bombed two U.S. destroyers. The goal was to unite North and South Vietnam; however, the U.S. and South Vietnam were unsuccessful. It was not a popular war, and the military who served in the war were treated very poorly when they returned.
