The Vietnam War was both a foreign and domestic crisis for the United States. Almost 60,000 Americans and millions of Vietnamese died in the war, while the conflict provoked intense protests, debates and violence at home. This exhibit explored: how and why did the U.S. government get involved in Vietnam; how did local citizens and those serving in Vietnam felt about the war; how feelings changed as the war intensified; and why U.S. involvement continued even after antiwar protests escalated and the general public demanded an end to the war.
