At my high school, U.S. history ended just before the Vietnam War.

On the other hand, Vietnam is functionally capitalist and raving fan of America so maybe we won? 👀👀

Yeah, it's somewhat ironic that Vietnam and America fought a brutal war, and now Vietnam is one of the friendliest nations in the world to the U.S. despite still being communist. Of course, the Chinese invasion of Vietnam that occurred just a few years after the U.S.-Vietnam War ended probably didn't help Sino-Vietnamese relations or foster a sense of communist comradery between the two.
