TASK

Your task is to analyze both the failures and successes associated with the U.S. approach to the war in Vietnam from the perspective of a presidential advisor. You will investigate the key figures, the military strategy, the draft, sacrifices demanded of civilians and the military, and the cost of the Vietnam War and share your interpretation of events with the other advisors.

Together, you will decide what recommendations you would make to the President about how to approach the current situation in Restonia.

You and your fellow advisors will create a 6-10 minute video presentation to persuade the President to follow your recommendations on how to approach the current situation with Restonia.

Your ability to develop strong, persuasive arguments which are firmly grounded in historical understanding could impact relations with Jenistan and Restonia and change your nation's history forever.
