American policy in vietnam has been compared to stepping into quicksand. you have been asked to give a speech on how the u. s. became involved in vietnam. using material from your notes and the textbook, examine american involvement in the vietnam war. what caused it? how did the u. s. become part of the struggle? could the u. s. have avoided the war?

The main reason for the Vietnam war was the US trying to stop the spread of communism. The war could have easily been avoided. We gained nothing from the war only casualties.

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
