Vietnam War trivia questions and answers, as school history
The pack asks dates, places, names, plans and documents: the Geneva Conference, the 17th parallel, USS Maddox, Da Nang, Vietnamization, the War of the Flags. It gives no casualty figures, has no weapons round and takes no side.
For a history class or a veterans' group quiz
Played in order, the rounds tell the war from French Indochina to 1979. A tap on a choice marks it right or wrong and gives the reason beside it. Print question sheet comes up once ten questions are done.
