02:00After a long war against the French, Indochina has split into two separate countries.
02:07The Communist North is dominated by China.
02:10The South is part of the Western world.
02:13Its army, trained by 15,000 American military advisors, fights against the Communist resistance fighters of the Viet Cong, who pose a growing threat.
02:22They even defeat the South Vietnamese and the Americans in the Battle of Abbaq.
02:33In Saigon, in the spring of 1963, Buddhist monks stage protests.
02:52They accuse the South Vietnamese government, backed by the Americans, of favoring the Catholics.
02:59And the South Vietnamese accused the Buddhists of being manipulated by the communists.
03:04The South Vietnamese president, Ngo Dinh Diem, is accused by American Ambassador Cabot Lodge of not having control over the situation.
03:15Kennedy is reminded of the Chinese Civil War in 1949.
03:22American aid hadn't succeeded in stopping Mao.
03:24We don't want to have a repetition of China, because that was the most damaging event, certainly, that's occurred to us, perhaps in this century, when that passed into the control of the communists.
03:38Kennedy gives the South Vietnamese generals the green light to get rid of Diem, who is considered powerless.
03:53November 2nd, 1963.
03:56The South Vietnamese army storms the presidential palace and establishes a strict military regime in Saigon.
04:08The South Vietnamese president, Diem, and his brother are summarily executed.
04:27A few days later, on November 10th, 1963, Jackie and John Kennedy take a family break together before their electoral trip to Dallas, Texas.
04:38Jackie is trying to overcome her depression after the loss of her third child, Patrick.
04:54John John and Caroline are of great comfort to her.
05:02Jackie teaches her son the military salute.
05:04She has no desire to go to Dallas, a town known to be hostile towards her husband.
05:13Kennedy is also concerned.
05:16But he jokes around.
05:19It would be easy to assassinate me.
05:22Just go to the top of a building with a sniper rifle.
05:24November 22nd, 1963, at 11.30 a.m., the presidential couple arrives in Dallas.
05:45The never-ending cortege takes an hour to reach downtown.
05:48It's downtown.
05:5412.30.
05:59The U.S.
06:13Vice President Lyndon Johnson will replace Kennedy
06:21and become the 36th President of the United States
06:24as directed by the American Constitution.
06:27He is sworn in on the plane that transports the body back to Washington.
06:33Jackie Kennedy, still in shock, is with him.
06:43At her husband's funeral,
06:51Jackie leans over to her 3-year-old son, John John, and says,
06:55Now you can salute Daddy and say goodbye to him.
07:03The police find the prints of a certain Lee Harvey Oswald
07:07on the gun which killed the President.
07:09He bought the gun by mail order for $21.
07:16Oswald is a 24-year-old who has recently returned from the Soviet Union.
07:22He is quickly arrested and almost immediately assassinated
07:27live on television by Jack Ruby.
07:31The investigative committee will conclude that Oswald was the President's assassin
07:36and that it was an isolated act.
07:39In Moscow, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev
07:42comes to sign the Book of Condolences at the American Embassy.
07:51He is genuinely devastated
07:54and equally worried about the consequences of Kennedy's death.
07:59Lyndon Johnson is sworn in as President of the United States
08:03as a result of these sad circumstances.
08:05He is 55 years old.
08:09The Kennedy brothers chose him as Vice President
08:11because he is an elected Democrat from the South
08:14with anti-racist views.
08:18Although he's determined to continue Kennedy's work
08:21for equal civil and social rights,
08:23he is less involved in the fight against communism,
08:26which he knows little about.
08:27The communist insurgents of the Viet Cong are uncatchable in the jungle.
08:51Kennedy had approved getting rid of the jungle.
09:02Ten years earlier, the French had considered this option,
09:06but it is Kennedy who authorizes the use of the herbicide Agent Orange
09:10made by Monsanto.
09:12Its effects are devastating,
09:18especially in the rice bowl of the South, the Mekong Delta.
09:24The operation is codenamed Ranch Hand.
09:29Begun in 1962, it will continue for eight more years.
09:33This doesn't impress Ho Chi Minh,
09:42who still rules North Vietnam
09:44and is very active in front of the world's cameras.
09:47Are you afraid of the Americans to fight the war in North Vietnam?
09:51We never have afraid.
09:53Like the French say,
09:56fear does not exist.
09:57Johnson doesn't have the same determination.
10:04He calls his advisor, McGeorge Bundy, and tells him...
10:07I don't see what we can ever hope to get out of there with
10:10once we're committed.
10:11I don't think it's worth fighting for,
10:13and I don't think we can get out.
10:15I just thought about ordering those kids in there,
10:17and what in the hell am I ordering him out there for?
10:20One thing that is true to me.
10:21What is it worth to this country?
10:24Johnson and his Secretary of Defense McNamara
10:30decide to send the head of the American Army to Vietnam.
10:34General William Westmoreland,
10:36a brilliant 50-year-old paratrooper officer,
10:39is a World War II and Korean War hero.
10:44His mission?
10:45Save South Vietnam from collapsing.
10:47When he arrives in June 1964,
10:57Westmoreland discovers a very complex situation.
11:01The Americans are convinced
11:03they are no longer confronting
11:05South Vietnamese Viet Cong resistance fighters,
11:08but the regular North Vietnamese Army,
11:11who has infiltrated the southern part of the country.
11:13For the Americans to fight them legally,
11:16they'll need a pretext.
11:18The Gulf of Tonkin incident
11:20will provide them with one.
11:25On August 2nd, 1964,
11:28two U.S. Navy ships sailed too close to North Vietnam.
11:32They claim they were attacked by the North Vietnamese.
11:34This is the pretext needed
11:38to order the American aircraft carriers
11:40to engage in a show of force
11:42and to ask the United States Congress
11:44on August 7th, 1964
11:46to authorize Johnson
11:49to officially declare war on North Vietnam.
11:52China immediately mobilizes
12:03to denounce Uncle Sam,
12:05the symbol of America
12:06and its murderous planes.
12:12In Moscow,
12:16on October 14th, 1964,
12:19Soviet leaders led by Leonid Brezhnev
12:21to remove Khrushchev from power
12:23in the hopes of rekindling relations
12:25with China once again.
12:29Khrushchev's alienation also paves the way
12:31for a rapprochement
12:32between the USSR and Vietnam.
12:36Kosygin,
12:37the new Soviet prime minister,
12:39can travel to Hanoi
12:40and organize large-scale aid
12:42for North Vietnam.
12:43Much of these supplies
12:50transit through China,
12:52who helps itself to whatever it likes
12:55and copies the technology.
12:59Mao continues to calculate ruthlessly.
13:03He wants to weaken Russia.
13:05These large quantities of arms
13:07delivered to North Vietnam
13:08will put a strain
13:10on the Soviet economy.
13:12Johnson, on the other hand,
13:14dismisses the idea
13:15of peaceful coexistence
13:17in March 1965
13:18when he launches
13:19a massive aerial offensive
13:20against North Vietnam.
13:26Operation Rolling Thunder
13:28is intended to impact
13:29public opinion
13:30without risking the loss
13:32of American lives.
13:33But the U.S. Air Force
13:40is not authorized
13:41to strike Hanoi,
13:43the northern capital,
13:44so as not to provoke China.
13:52So once the supply routes
13:54towards the south
13:55have been destroyed,
13:56along with bridges,
13:57barracks,
13:58and ammunition depots,
14:00the Americans run out of targets.
14:03Enormous Boeing B-52 bombers,
14:09based initially in the Pacific,
14:11then in Thailand,
14:12make their entrance.
14:17Each one drops 30 tons of bombs
14:20on the countryside.
14:21On March 30, 1965,
14:36a Viet Cong car bomb terrorist attack
14:39in front of the American embassy
14:40kills 20 and injures 200.
14:46There is no turning back
14:48for President Johnson.
14:51On July 28, 1965,
14:54he solemnly addresses
14:56the American people on TV.
14:59My fellow Americans,
15:00I do not find it easy
15:04to send a flower of our youth,
15:08our finest young men,
15:10into battle.
15:12But we must not let this mask
15:14the central fact
15:16that this is really war.
15:21It is guided by North Vietnam
15:23and it is spurred
15:25by Communist China.
15:29American ground forces
15:31in Vietnam increase
15:32from 23,000
15:33to 184,000 men.
15:41With the first wave
15:42of reinforcements,
15:44the American general staff
15:45can implement major offenses
15:46to find and destroy Charlie.
15:52These operations mobilize
15:54hundreds of helicopters,
15:56which have become
15:57the modern stallions
15:58of the 1st Cavalry Division.
16:01The American army launches
16:22roughly 10 major operations
16:24in 1965,
16:2620 in 66,
16:28and 30 in 67.
16:29The criteria of success
16:31for these operations
16:32is the body count,
16:34the total number
16:35of enemy casualties,
16:36like 600 in Operation Starlight.
16:43A new element,
16:44television,
16:45makes its appearance,
16:47broadcasting uncensored images
16:48and testimonies
16:49punctuated by the powerful delivery
16:51of the star anchorman
16:52of the day,
16:53Walter Cronkite.
16:54If the American public
16:55had not known until then,
16:57they know now,
16:58the United States
16:59is indeed at war.
17:01This soldier can finally
17:02be heard by the American public.
17:04Yes, it does.
17:06Yeah, it was,
17:07it was pretty bad
17:08to listen to your friends
17:10crying out for help,
17:11not being able
17:12to do a thing.
17:13We just couldn't do anything.
17:16We were all pinned down.
17:17We didn't do it.
17:20Suppose there are two questions...
17:21Even General Westmoreland
17:22appears exhausted.
17:24One is,
17:25how long is this war
17:27going to go on?
17:28And two,
17:29how many more American boys
17:31will have to be sent here?
17:33Are there any answers
17:34to these questions?
17:36Certainly no simple answers.
17:39This war is not going to end
17:41by any one single battle
17:44or combination of battles.
17:45It could be a situation
17:48that could drag out
17:49for some time.
17:50And I think we must prepare
17:51for this eventuality.
17:58Certainly as the war
17:59gets more intense,
18:00and I feel that it will
18:02in the coming months,
18:04we will suffer
18:05more American casualties.
18:10Westmoreland obtains
18:12250,000 additional troops.
18:15Yes, sir.
18:15Uh-huh.
18:16Well, you'll get out.
18:17A few comforting words.
18:19A few days.
18:20Thank you, sir.
18:20But does High Command
18:21already know
18:22that their sacrifice
18:23will be useless?
18:25To bring the North
18:27to its knees,
18:28other means are required.
18:30Famous Air Force General
18:32Curtis LeMay,
18:33an advocate
18:33of strategic bombing,
18:35declares,
18:35my solution
18:37is to tell
18:37the North Vietnam communists
18:39that we're going
18:40to send them back
18:40to the Stone Age.
18:41June 29th, 1966.
18:57For the first time,
18:58Johnson authorizes
18:59the bombing of Hanoi
19:00and the Haiphong Harbor.
19:05Johnson tells his daughter,
19:06your daddy may go down
19:08in history
19:09for having started
19:10World War III.
19:15Bombing Haiphong Harbor
19:16is a dangerous undertaking.
19:19American planes
19:20risk hitting
19:20Russian freighters,
19:21continually unloading
19:22war supplies,
19:23and a Soviet intervention
19:25is always a possibility.
19:26The targets are very limited
19:32and are on the outskirts
19:33of the city,
19:34but always result
19:35in tragic human casualties.
19:37These are immediately
19:38exploited
19:39by the North's
19:40propaganda machine.
19:52The destruction of Hanoi,
19:54the capital of North Vietnam,
19:56would provoke
19:57a violent reaction
19:58from China.
19:59So once again,
20:00the bombs fall
20:00outside the city limits.
20:11Ho Chi Minh is confident.
20:13He parades along Haiphong Harbor
20:15with his friends
20:16from the Russian Navy.
20:17He has nothing to fear
20:18and makes the most
20:20of the situation.
20:23His voice echoes daily
20:24in Hanoi.
20:25The war could last
20:29another 5, 10, 20 years
20:31or even more.
20:33Hanoi, Haiphong,
20:35and other towns,
20:36businesses, factories
20:36may be totally destroyed,
20:38but the Vietnamese
20:39will not let themselves
20:41be intimidated
20:42because nothing
20:43is more precious to them
20:44than independence
20:45and freedom.
20:46The American pilots
21:01know that their planes
21:02full of electronic equipment
21:04are vulnerable
21:04to ground fire
21:05even of small caliber.
21:12The pilots fear
21:13North Vietnamese
21:14anti-aircraft attacks
21:15backed by the numerous
21:23Soviet cannons
21:23that are controlled
21:24by radar
21:25and the highly sophisticated
21:27SAM missiles.
21:31Future Senator John McCain,
21:33a pilot at the time,
21:34is hit by a missile
21:36and parachutes to safety.
21:45Like many pilots,
21:46he is virtually lynched
21:47by the crowds,
21:48especially for the cameras.
21:57His arms and legs are broken.
21:59He is spared
22:00at the last minute
22:01and taken care of
22:03at the Hanoi Hospital.
22:05Since he is the son
22:06of the admiral
22:07in charge of the Pacific Zone,
22:09the North Vietnamese
22:09call in the TV cameras.
22:12I would just like to tell
22:14my wife
22:19I will get well.
22:24I hope to see her soon.
22:32I appreciate it
22:34if you tell her
22:35that
22:36that's all I am.
22:40The captured American pilots
22:57are locked up
22:57in the old French jail
22:59they facetiously refer to as
23:01the Hanoi Hilton.
23:03They're kept alive
23:13to be used
23:14as human shields
23:15in the town's center.
23:21English student
23:22Trintin Ngo
23:23speaks to them
23:24every day
23:25over Hanoi's radio waves.
23:27GI,
23:28your government
23:29has abandoned you.
23:31They lie to you
23:32GI.
23:34You have lost this war,
23:36GI.
23:38They cannot see you
23:39from your airplanes,
23:40GI.
23:41They come to bomb you.
23:47From now on,
23:48the Americans
23:49limit their targets
23:50to the south.
23:52Their planes drop
23:53thousands of tons
23:54of bombs
23:54on the Viet Cong,
23:56destroying a territory
23:57that they are
23:58supposed to defend.
24:02The most common way
24:04of wiping out fighters
24:06hidden in the jungle
24:06is phosphorus
24:08mixed with napalm.
24:11Gelled gasoline
24:12that burns everything
24:14upon impact
24:14when it explodes.
24:15The Viet Cong go underground.
24:31They dig hundreds
24:32of miles of tunnels,
24:33like the famous
24:34underground complex
24:35in Cu Chi,
24:37near Saigon.
24:37survival shelters,
24:42living spaces,
24:44military hospitals,
24:47food and weapons storage.
24:57Westmoreland says
24:58they are human moles.
25:00At the end of 1967,
25:09the Viet Cong receive orders
25:10from Hanoi
25:11to prepare a major offensive
25:13across the entire
25:14southern part
25:15of the country.
25:20The launch date
25:21is carefully chosen.
25:24January 30th, 1968,
25:28the day of the
25:29Vietnamese New Year.
25:30the Tet.
25:31It will be known
25:32as the Tet Offensive.
25:36In Saigon,
25:37the year of the monkey,
25:38a very good omen begins.
25:42The unicorn dance
25:43chases the evil spirits.
25:47Ancestors are honored.
25:50Half the South Vietnamese
25:51army is on leave.
25:54Good morning, Vietnam.
25:58The young Americans
26:05spend a tropical new year
26:07at the beach.
26:10North Vietnam
26:11has even called
26:12for a ceasefire
26:13while secretly sending
26:15reinforcements
26:16to the South.
26:16During the night,
26:24the North Vietnamese army
26:26initiates its attack
26:27throughout the country.
26:28On the morning
26:29of January 31st, 1968,
26:32the situation
26:33is unclear.
26:36The communists
26:38had bet on a massive
26:39popular uprising
26:40in their favor.
26:41but the people
26:42terrorized
26:43seek protection.
26:48The South Vietnamese army
26:49manages to hold its own
26:51against the soldiers
26:52from the north.
26:52The Marines fight
27:14to regain control
27:15of the American
27:16embassy's gardens,
27:17a powerful symbol
27:19that the Viet Cong
27:20has managed to occupy.
27:21the U.S.
27:22불�ept squad
27:27for the South
27:27to drive
27:29to the North
27:30of the Nights
27:31to terre
27:32and spread
27:33into the U.S.
27:34and the U.S.
27:34of the North
27:34A-O.S.
27:35and the U.S.
27:36and the U.S.
27:37and the U.S.
27:38and the U.S.
27:38and the U.S.
27:38and the U.S.
27:39By the evening of January 31st,
28:04the situation in Saigon has returned to normal,
28:07but not in the hundreds of towns of the South which were attacked at the same time.
28:15Especially in Hue, where the Viet Cong has taken over the Imperial City and are now holed up inside.
28:23They've raised their flag, which the Americans are struggling to take down.
28:31These particularly violent combats last 28 days.
28:37In the end, the South Vietnamese and Americans count 700 men killed and 4,000 injured.
28:578,000 communist fighters died.
28:59But not before executing 3,000 South Vietnamese civilians, dignitaries, and civil servants, along with their families.
29:10In eight months of offensive warfare, North Vietnam has lost 50,000 soldiers, and must now recruit children.
29:21But it is also a failure for the Americans, one which costs Westmoreland and McNamara their job.
29:36These images, like those of the American camp of Quezon, create a widespread change in public opinion.
29:43Mass protests, refusal to enlist, and desertions take place everywhere.
29:56The younger generation rebels across the country.
30:01This revolt spreads around the world.
30:03This revolt, to Tokyo, Berlin, Madrid, London, Sydney, and Paris, where the student protests turn May 68 into a national crisis.
30:26Peace talks between North Vietnam and the United States begin in the French capital.
30:35In Washington, Johnson has lost a great deal of popularity, and has already decided not to run for re-election in November 68.
30:46He is followed by President Richard Nixon, who brings on Henry Kissinger as an advisor.
30:52Kissinger is thought to be capable of resolving this impossible situation.
31:00Kissinger is a German who fled Nazi persecution.
31:04He became an American citizen and taught at Harvard.
31:11Because of his European origins, he is one of the rare people in Washington able to understand the workings of the communist world and the very essence of the Vietnam War.
31:22He explains to Nixon that the key is China.
31:27Once they give in to Mao's demands, the war will end.
31:34Mao, to eliminate those he calls inside enemies, has launched a so-called cultural revolution.
31:45Mao wants American recognition.
31:48A seat on the UN Security Council.
31:50He also wants American troops pulled out of Taiwan.
31:56Will Nixon give in?
31:59In the meantime, in South Vietnam, the war continues, with the never-ending patrols on the hostile streams and rivers.
32:06Many desperate American soldiers fall prey to madness, drugs, and senseless bloodshed.
32:26Like the massacre at Mai Lai, a village where the entire population of 400 are killed by soldiers from the 23rd Infantry Division.

35:33Paris, January 23rd, 1973.
35:38The North Vietnam and United States Peace Agreement is signed.
35:44It's more like a ceasefire in three parts.
35:47Cessation of hostilities.
35:49Cessation of hostilities.
35:50Release of all prisoners.
35:53Upholding the Southern regime and its 1954 borders at the 17th parallel, but leaving the country to face the menacing North.
36:05For the North, the Vietnam War has been won.
36:17The Americans can pack up, as can all those who came to fight with them.
36:24A hundred thousand Australians, New Zealanders, Thais, Taiwanese-Chinese, Filipinos, and even some Spaniards from health services.
36:34The North Vietnamese release fighter pilot prisoners, including John McCain.
36:43Yet barely two years after the signature of these peace agreements, the South Vietnamese population massively flees the Northern Army,
36:51who sweep down on them in total violation of the agreements which were intended to protect the South.

39:17Communism has spread to the majority of Southeast Asia, to Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, where the Khmer Rouge will massacre a quarter of its population.
39:30Although Mao weakened the United States, he crippled the Soviet Union even more.

39:45To survive, a wartime economy is instituted.

40:55Only the Soviet helicopters managed to locate them.
