Vietnam War History Explained in 20 Minutes | Vietnam War Documentary (Full Timeline)

The Vietnam War reshaped Vietnam, the United States, and the entire Cold War era. In this Vietnam War documentary, we compress the full Vietnam War history into a clear 20-minute timeline—covering the origins before U.S. combat troops arrived, the escalation of 1964–1965, the grinding war of attrition, the 1968 turning point, Vietnamization, the Paris Peace Accords, and the war’s final collapse in 1975. This episode is built to be a complete “big picture” overview: how the conflict evolved, why it lasted so long, and what it ultimately changed—on the battlefield, at home, and across global politics. If you’re looking for a Vietnam War history documentary with a straightforward structure and major turning points, this is the full story in one continuous narrative. Next episodes will zoom in on specific battles and operations with hour-by-hour timelines, maps, and case-file breakdowns.
