What If the U.S. Never Fought in Vietnam? Part 1

What if the United States never escalated the Vietnam War? In this episode of Glitchtory, we rewind to August 1964—when a single decision could have changed the course of American and global history. No Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. No massive troop deployments. No draft. We explore how one moment of restraint reshapes civil rights, counterculture, foreign policy, and the entire emotional blueprint of a generation. The Cold War still rages—but the battlefield moves. Follow the ripple effects of the war that never was.
