US History Overview 3 - WWII to Vietnam

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This video brings viewers up to modern history (1975) after taking them through WWII, the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War. Although the timeline's format may seem straightforward, viewers will be engaged by the bright text and relevant pictures. This resource provides just enough information to develop a firm grasp on the most important events of the 20th century.
