Assignment on the "Hue Massacre" issue

Please read all the documents on the "Hue Massacre" (it should be obvious why I put it in quotation marks).

Then, please write 300 words discussing the questions

• HOW did this purported historical event become accepted as "factual"?
• WHY did it become accepted as "factual"?
• IIN WHOSE INTEREST is it that this event be accepted as "fact"?
• What are THE POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS of accepting it as "fact"?
• WHY do those who believe it is not a "fact" have such a difficult time getting heard?

Please send this around to your group, as well as to me.
