Textbooks in Vietnamese schools often skip over the 1954 Geneva Accords, and I think that's a deliberate choice rather than an oversight—it's uncomfortable to teach a moment when Vietnam was temporarily divided by international agreement. My history teacher in Saigon spent one period on it and then rushed to the next chapter, which left me questioning what else is simplified. Is selective history education in Vietnam still shaping national identity in 2024, especially with younger generations who get information from social media?
