Threads

  • Warfare and conflict

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the events that led to the Paris Peace agreement of 1973 which ended US involvement in Vietnam. They analyse why the USA had been unable to defeat the North Vietnamese and evaluate the impact of the war on the American people.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge of the changing nature of the USA's involvement in Vietnam during the 1960s that they built in the previous unit. It also builds on pupils' understanding of American society that they built in previous key stage 4 units about the Civil Rights movement in America. It prepares pupils for some of the later key stage 4 units about the events of the Cold War in the 1970s and beyond.

  1. Peace negotiations to end the Vietnam War, 1968-1972
  2. The Paris Peace agreement, 1973
  3. US weaknesses in the Vietnam War
  4. North Vietnamese strengths in the Vietnam War
  5. Impact of the Vietnam War

  • Pupils know about the failure of the changing level of US involvement in the Vietnam War in the 1960s.
