in 1930 he establishes the vietnamese party. in may of 1941 ho and the communist party set up an organization known as the viet minh. it's anticolonial groups. they build their first guerrilla bases. they build a movement based upon mao and in some respects supported by mao and the chinese communists. their first base is on the chinese/north vietnamese border. during the second world war ho is one of the more effective antijapanese leaders. he develops very good credentials and credibility in vietnam as an anti-french factor, as an anti-japanese national list. he downplays his communist side even though that remains very, very important to ho. at the potsdam conference in july of 1945, vietnam like a lot of other countries at the end of the second world war, is divided into two occupational zones. the vietnamese emperor ab did you cates in favor of ho chi minh. this is important because it gives ho some credibility, particularly in the eyes of the vietnamese people. in september of 1945 ho chi minh declares vietnamese independen

substantial south vietnamese forces. you've got on the communist side in particular, the coalitional aspect is very important for their success. you know, ho chi minh says that himself. so you've got support from communist china and from the soviet union as well. so keep that in mind here when we look at this war because you have these various different aspects of it. and you've got to deal with the various different aspects, these various different wars in some respects in a different matter. now, also, what is important to point out here before we go into this lecture, you can see from the time line that it covers an enormous, you know, amount of time. 30 years. obviously, we're going to leave a couple things out and just hit the high points. what is important to think about is, the primary means, the primary elements of strategy that the north vietnamese used to prosecute the war against us, when the united states comes into the war, these have already been developed before our entry into the war in a significant fash

the north vietnamese assess here again. when they're assessing they actually do a very good job of identifying what we plan to do. they assess the united states strategy very, very well. in 1965 they predict the u.s. will build up its forces, try to build up the arvin, the south vietnamese army and government. at the same time, they believed that the u.s. effort would be undermined by a lack of public support for the war and they also they believe the south vietnamese government was fairly weak. you still have thrive vi this r. general tan, he believed that the u.s. would not have enough troops to do what west mother moreland was doing. he believed the u.s. would end up having the same problems as the french had. so he adopts a very aggressive form of phase 2 where he's really going to -- he's not going to go full conventional war against the americans but he's going to very aggressively fight the arvin, fight the american army when he can. to provide the strength for this the north basically moves to point of immobilizing

the north vietnamese reassess. when they're assessing, they do a very good job of identifying what we planned to do. they really assess the united states strategy very, very well. in 1965 they predict the u.s. will build up its forces there, protect its bases in the population centers, try to build up the south vietnamese army and south vietnamese government. and at the same time, they believed that the u.s. effort would be undermined by a lack of public support for the war. and they also believed the u.s. effort would be undernimined by the fact the south army was weak. you've still got this rivalry in the vietnamese high command, how do you prosecute this war? general tan, again, who commands the communist force in the south, he believed that the u.s. would not have enough troops to do what westmoreland was doing, to prosecute the attrition war that he's going to do. and he believed that the u.s. would end up having the same problems and the same fate as the french had. and so he adopts a very aggressive form of

thousands of years makes the mekong delta one of the most fertile regions on earth. ( speaking vietnamesetranslator: i grow three crops of rice a year. each yields about 1,20kilograms-- a total of 3,600 kilograms a year. when the price is good, i sell this rice, but if the price is not good, then i'll save it. rrator 3,600 kilograms, or nearly 8,000 pounds, is a respectable yield. improved agricultural practices have steadily increased rice output. when the mekong river entersietnam, it fans out to form a giant dea. the delta land is ideally suited to growing rice. yet in translator:70s, vietnam wai grew only one crop a year. because there was no irrigation, there wasn't enough water to grow more than one crop. so we didn't produce enough. ator land w bng comed by thewaed. changes since then sohave turned vietnamenough. into the world's second largest rice exporter. effective irrigation, land management and accesthe benefits ofets arits physical environment. before 1988, rice in vietnam was produced by collectives. individual farmers had little responsibility for their land and virtually

we did what we had to do. >> the diary you found, that was recovered by the north vietnamese soldiers, tell me about that. personalizing of your enemy. >> the north vietnamese soldier did when i fought in vietnam, not only in the valley but in other very tough battles. he was a well-trained soldier. highly motivated, was not afraid to die. i think part of his motivation may have been that they were determined to drive the round-eyed western foreigner out of their country. and the thought struck me often in vietnam that we look just like the french. white, black, brown and we were in their country. killing them, dropping bombs on their cities. and i don't think it was very tough job for the leaders in vietnam to embut the very tough fight to get this round-eyed foreigner out of our country, which had been enslaved by the french for a hundred years. until this. i think they identified us almost like we were french. >> your enemy? you're discussing the -- is this characteristic of people's army of vietnam and the viet cong fighters or did you see a difference? >> oh, i think they're abou

insisting on the deamericanization which is confused with vietnamization, build up of the south vietnamese and that was his plan and it worked in the end. i'm simplifying the argument, and that was an important role, but at the same time nixon and kissinger bypassed him. they saw vietnamization as part of the solution as i tried to explain. that is, if you're going to withdraw and if you haven't won an agreement that is necessary to preserve south vietnam, then there's the danger of south vietnam falling and, therefore, you need to build up the south vietnamese to deal with the other side. so vietnamization was an important part of this, but nixon didn't emphasize it until the end of 1969 and into '70. and even then they withdrew more slowly than laird wanted them to. the other part of their strategy was force, which i think -- if i want to judge in the short time i have here, i think it failed their main purpose, which was to force the other side, to withdraw north vietnamese troops from south vietnam, and to give up on their insistence of a unified vietnam. that did not happen. but the p

and therefore you need to build up the south vietnamese on the other side. nixon didn't end it until 1969 and into '70 and even then it was more than laird wanted them to the other strategy was force. khpwhv it purpose, which was to force the other side to withdraw north ve vietnamese troops from south vietnam and to give up on their insistence of the unified vietnam. that did not happen. but the point is that vietnamization took a while to come into play and by then most american troops had withdrawn. >> we're out of time. >> i had actually a slightly different determination of laird's role. and by the way, the nixon library has quite an excellent oral history that they did. in any case, i think that nixon's view of laird was somewhat similar to what john kennedy thought about harriman, that he was a crocodile on the side of the creek that would bite your head off if you did it wrong. so laird's positions and what laird did and how he related to the president's enterprises was of huge importance to the white house. and that's why things happened the way th

now, the vietnamese -- north vietnamese communist objectives are pretty clear. it's not as clear from reading as it should be. they want to take all of southeast asia. french indochina. it's the conquest of south vietnam. that's what they want. they tell us the first thing we need to do is figure out the nature of the war. again, for our purposes for this, when you start your study of this case study, you start investigating this case study, think about that. what is the nature of this war? one of my colleagues back in newport, he talks about this being a war within a war within a war. and it's interesting perspective to think of because you have a multilayered series of events and activities obviously that are going on here. and different ways of fighting it. for the communists in many ways this is a revolutionary war. they want to expand communism in southeast asia. again, south vietnam is only the next stop on the road to that. and a regular warfare, guerrilla warfare is the how, but not all of it. of course, you have a regional war that develops here as well

>> well, he knew that the north vietnamese forces were still there. that we needed to first of all do something policing of the battlefield to try to recover as many american soldiers, bod eeshgs as we could, try to get them back inside the perimeter. go through normal routine as -- a company once you go in line. establish your positions, put out listening posts, do all the kinds of military tactical things that unit should do. >> you stay there in the day and nig nig night. what was that night like. >> there were a number of probing attacks. we were on the western side of the perimeter. no real heavy pros. they were looking for weaknesses in their line. my company being first, we had ample supply of ammunition. we were a solid company. they didn't find too many weaknesses. >> tell me about your general feelings and your remembrance. what kind of commando was he? >> before -- >> before, yes. >> didn't know him. >> even if he had been there the whole time i didn't know him. he was a battalion commander of another battalion. remember, my unit was attach

i think it failed their main purpose which was to force the other side to withdraw north vietnamese troops from south vietnam and to give up their insistence of a unified vietnam. that did not happen. but the point is vietnamization took a long time to come into play, by the time they came into play most american troop his withdrawn. okay, this is complicated. >> i have actually a slightly interpretation of laird's role and by the way. theon

you can see some of the damage inflicted to its hull after it collided with a vietnamese cargo ship offhat country's coast. this physical damage seems minimal but one passenger described the psychological impact in the seconds before the crash. >> through the fog, we to our horror we saw this vietnamese container ship appear sideways on and it was as if our ship was perfectly like sideways on and itary pood and we did in fact collide right in the side of it very dramatically. >> reporter: on the port side or left side you can see more damage. it's at the front of the ship where you can see the point of first impact. right after that the silver shadow sheared not before taking out the bridge of the vietnamese cargo ship. the silversea later released a statement saying it was a minor incident. passengers say they were scared but commended their crew. >> it could have been a major disaster had we hit a big cargo ship. this one, the one that we hit was with one-fourth the size of silversea. >> it was extremely frightening and worrying and obviously in the light of the cost ka concordia that

vietnamese government wouldn't issue the documents. >> certain countries don't have a relationship with the u.s. and won't issue the paper work. >> that's right. although we are on diplomatic terms now, we have not been deporting many people and from my research i don't think that we have deported more than a dozen or so people to vietnam. ice has duty to determine whether or not he is a public safety problem and they made a deration he wasn't a problem at some point and they released him. again, that is not uncommon. every year ice releases about 4,000 people in this situation. not from vietnam, but from all over the world who they can't deport. >> outside the home where the five victims were found a small memorial has been set up. people have been stopping by to pay their respects to the victims and today police released the names of the five victims. the names are on your screens. all between the ages of 30-65. flowers have been left at the scene in memory of the victims who are described as quiet, fun loving and hopeful. >>> another news now. a bay area teen missing for 11 days, the

(yelling in vietnamese) (gunshot) (baby sobbing) gives you an uneasy feeling, doesn't it? think about that's a depiction of u.s. armed forces personnel. i had problems with depictions of the americans being the great aggressor and antagonist, and it's not so. unfortunately, that clip showed the military in an unfavorable light, but, by the same token, a realistic military version and what its function is can help the military itself and the american public understand its military and what it's there for. it's not there to be john wayne. this is the problem the vietnam generation has in going into vietnam. that is, they apply hollywood frames of reference that they were brought up on in the 1940's and 50's to the new experience and it doesn't fit.

nick, a vietnamese interpreter. we were in the lead helicopter of b-company, the assault company. the as you know from reading the book. we had a hell of a fight that day. it was a cliffhanger. and probably only had about 200 of my 450 or so men on the ground when we were attacked by two battalions of enemy, 800 to 1,000 enemy. i'll go into the details of that later if you want me to, but it was a cliffhanger all that afternoon. my men fought magnificently. we lost a lot of troopers. finally, things quieted down a little bit and we established a command post behind an ant hill which was about the size of a small pickup truck. six or seven feet high, termite hill. and that was my field aid station. at about 7:00, i had dillon overhead in my command chopper along with minor ward air controller, charlie hastings, lieutenant hastings. my fire support coordinator and the bank of radios and they relay it back to the brigade commander. the helicopter officers could control all that movement. dillon had been on the ground with me, i would have been penalized because who would have done al

what was left of our guys had sort of this side of the lz and the north vietnamese had the other side. so when we got in there they kind of said, just take over and solve -- see what you can do. and so we sort of established as best we could where people were. if you're familiar with albany, the problem is they're strung out all over the place and there's pockets of people. it's just a horrid, horrid situation because there are guys out there with radios that are wounded calling to try and get in and they can't get in because the enemy's wandering around out there. it's very difficult to put the artillery out there. but eventually i decide -- probably dudurig told me to -- to put it out there. and i first of all ran a sky raider down the other side of the lz and had him just fire cannon after cannon through there. they carried 50 calibers or 30 calibers, to try to shred those trees and try to get those guys out of there. they must have left or we did do that to try to kind of get our back side. then i started moving the artillery around, but i really sort of had said, okay, this is so
