Marci Reaven of the New-York Historical Society — where she curated “The Vietnam War: 1945-1975” exhibit which is currently at the Heinz History Center.
The Vietnam War (1955-1975) was a complicated military conflict in the divided country of Vietnam that evolved into a major undeclared war. It functioned as a violent expression of the Cold War (1946-1991) between the western democracies led by the United States and communist countries dominated by China and the Soviet Union. By the late 1960’s, it became increasingly clear that the US and its allies were unlikely to win as military and civilian casualties mounted. The war also led to political unrest in America.
“The Vietnam War: 1945-1975” exhibit takes visitors on a journey spanning the duration of U.S. involvement in Indochina starting with the end of World War II (1939-1945). It uses compelling storytelling, powerful photography, and artifacts to tell the deeply personal stories of the men and women who were impacted by the war.
