There's Something Happening Here: The Vietnam War - Part VII - A Holiday in Hambodia

"Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio." - Neil Young, "Ohio"

On this seventh episode of his series on the Vietnam War, join the Hungry Historian as he journeys through the tumultuous years of 1970 to 1973—a pivotal period for both the Vietnam War and the United States. 

As the conflict in Southeast Asia dragged on, US involvement took a sharp turn with President Nixon’s controversial “Vietnamization” strategy. American troops began withdrawing, but the war was far from over. 

From the deadly US invasion of Cambodia to the devastating bombings of Hanoi, the Hungry Historian will examine how these final years pushed both the war effort and anti-war sentiment to their breaking points.

The echoes of Vietnam rippled loudly across America’s streets. Protests erupted nationwide, with the tragic Kent State and Jackson State shootings serving as a horrifying reminder of the country's internal divisions. 

By 1973, the signing of the Paris Peace Accords brought U.S. involvement in Vietnam to a close, but the scars of the war—both overseas and at home—would linger for years to come.
