Vietnam War
Transcript:
After escalating US involvement in Vietnam through the 1960s, President Richard M. Nixon announced in 1969 that the US would begin withdrawing its forces from the war-ravaged country, with stepped-up American training. The South Vietnamese were encouraged to play a larger role in their own defence. Despite the US troop withdrawals, opposition to the war increased; anti-war protests and marches drew thousands of people in Washington, DC, and other cities throughout the country. Television brought the war into America's living rooms; scenes of the war's horrors turned many people against continued US involvement in Vietnam. The last American ground forces left Vietnam in 1973. But the war did not end until 1975, when South Vietnam surrendered to the north. As the North Vietnamese entered Saigon, people fled to the American embassy. Congress provided emergency aid to evacuate (Americans).
