FOR STUDENTS

You and your classmates are among the President's personal advisors. Restonia, a third-world country traditionally ruled by Jenistan, one of America's allies, has revolted under a radical leader who, although he claims to be a nationalist, has previously been associated with communist leaders. The Jenistani regime in Restonia has asked for the U.S.'s military support in crushing the rebellion. Fearing that this may be another Vietnam, the President has turned to you, his most trusted personal advisors, to look to the past in order to come up with a current solution.

FOR TEACHERS

Students will analyze the political and social climate of the Vietnam War. Based on their analysis, students will create a video presentation to persuade the current President to follow their recommendations about what course of action to take in the current conflict with Restonia.
