Lyndon B. Johnson launched the “War on Poverty” at home, but it was the Vietnam War that came to define his presidency and the turbulent 1960s. In this PragerU 5-Minute Video, historian Bill Whittle explores how LBJ’s domestic ambitions were overshadowed by the escalating conflict in Southeast Asia. Discover how Vietnam reshaped Johnson’s legacy, divided a nation, and changed the course of American history—politically, culturally, and militarily.
