What is Vietnam Peace Day?
The signing of the Paris Peace Accords is every year on January 27th. This event brought an end to America's participation in the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War had engulfed the US for eight long years. In 1965, the United States entered the conflict in the United States. However, the conflict in Vietnam began long before then. In the mid-1950s, tensions existed between communist North Vietnam and democratic South Vietnam. During this period, America's only contribution and military training to South Vietnam were provided.
President John F. Kennedy expanded the military aid program in 1961. Lyndon B. Johnson, the president of 1963, became president Lyndon B. Johnson. The first American combat troops entered Vietnam two years ago. By 1966, there were 400,000 US troops serving in the Vietnam War. This number has risen through the years, as has the number of people protesting the United States' involvement increased over the years. President Johnson did not seek reelection because of backlash. Richard M. Nixon became President in November 1968. Nixon was born in November 1968. He promised to restore law and order, as well as end the draft.
Over 58,000 military personnel had died by the time the United States pulled out of the war in 1973, by the time the United States pulled out of the war in 1973. About 75,000 American Vietnam veterans were severely wounded, with many of them being severely wounded. People in this region also have skepticism about the Vietnam War. Many believe that our country should not have intervened. This is particularly true since communist North Vietnam overtook South Vietnam. The civil war officially ended in 1975 after the communist takeover. Since then, North and South Vietnam has been referred to as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
