<s>[INST] This week I have to write an essay on a 1965 political event of significance to American International Relations, choosing from either Cuba or Vietnam for a country focus. After a two day researching I am already having problems. My only choice is Vietnam, as my professor recommended a clear hindsight with an explicit evaluation of the long-term consequences but as with other major historical events, drawing clear causal connections between precursors, the event, and consequences can be challenging. My dilemma lies in the fact I get a limited number of words for, roughly 1000 words.[/INST]
