“…The Vietnam War stands as a poignant illustration of the global power struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Within the intricate geopolitical landscape of Southeast Asia, the conflict took root as the result of a complex interplay of historical, ideological, and strategic factors (Hodgkinson & Melchiorre, 2022;Warger, 2019). The region's history of colonization, with Vietnam having been under French rule, set the stage for a post-colonial struggle for self-determination.…”

This journal article presents a comprehensive historical analysis of the Vietnam War and its profound impact on the United States. The study delves into the intricate layers of the conflict, shedding light on its causes, progression, and aftermath. By examining both the military and socio-political dimensions, the article aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the war's complexity and its lasting implications for American society, politics, and foreign policy. The Vietnam War, intricately woven from geopolitical strategies, ideological clashes, and military tactics, holds enduring significance. Emerging from colonial legacies and Cold War dynamics, its escalation echoed the domino theory and containment policy. Amidst guerrilla warfare and air power strategies, the war's reach extended beyond battlefields, resonating in the anti-war movement, cultural expressions, and societal rifts.

This study reconsiders the 1967 Russell Tribunal through the lens of U.S. media. Scholars who study the Tribunal are often left apologizing for its lack of impact on public discourse. But a close look at news coverage, primary Tribunal literature, and members’ correspondence reveals many ways that it affected debates about the war in the USA. These connections made the Tribunal a transatlantic component in the Vietnam era anti-war movement as much as an experiment in international law.

This article studies the use of photography in the construction of solidarity between Cuba and Vietnam during the war years. It shows the way photography helped illustrate and articulate Cuba's evolving understanding of the Vietnam War as a conflict that was analogous to, and in some ways the culmination of, Cuba's own revolution. While Cuba enthusiastically embraced and disseminated photographs from Vietnam, the meanings attached to these photos were also modified to speak to domestic concerns. By focusing on the images used in two specific solidarity campaigns devoted to imprisoned activist Võ Thị Thắng and “martyr” Nguyễn Văn Trỗi, the article explores the way Cuban understandings of acceptable forms of revolutionary violence and its gendered expressions shaped the meanings attributed to these two figures.
