I believe it was Richard Nixon in 1973 who began pulling out troops out of VietNam but the final pullout of American troops was in March of 1975. So between 1973 and 1975 we still had soldiers and possibly missions going on in VietNam. I myself am a veteran who served from 1973 to 1976 although I never went into VietNam, I feel justified in being recognized as a VietNam era veteran. Am I wrong in thinking that way ?? This I ask to those who went into VietNam?!?!? Please give me your comments
The Vietnam war ended in 1975, Gerald Ford was president.
Early in the Vietnam War, the United States support the leadership of Ngo Dinh Diem. He was assassinated in 1963. Following his death, the next president of South Vietnam was Nguyen Van Thieu.
After a series of South Vietnamese government leadership changes, following the assassination of President Diem, President Nguyen Van Thieu became the leader of South Vietnam.
Feared that Vietnam would vote for a Communist government.
Clinton.
President Kennedy sent only advisors, arms, and money into South Vietnam, President Johnson escalated the war and committed U.S. troops.
President Eisenhower sent military advisors and maybe some technicians to Vietnam to help the government there stay in power. That was the beginning of US involvement there.
Eisenhower sent troops to South Vietnam so they can fight North Vietnam because North Vietnam wanted to take over South Vietnam and they did.
To try and keep South Vietnam from falling to the Communists, and because the government of South Vietnam was too corrupt and incompetent to defend themselves. The government of South Vietnam was never able to defend themselves, and President Gerald R. Ford finally gave up on them in 1975. They soon fell to communist North Vietnam.
He was replaced by the North Vietnamese government.
ANSWER Ho Chi Minh was the president of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War his original name was Nguyen Tat. Diem was the president of South Vietnam. Diem was assassinated Nguyen Van Thien was the president of South Vietnam after him.
The longest war against another recognized government was the Vietnam War which took place from 1955 (President Eisenhower's administration) through 1975 (President Ford's administration).
Vietnam is currently ruled by the Communist government led by President Nguyen Minh Triet.
Nguyen Thi Doan is the Vice President of Vietnam.
Thieu was president, until North Vietnam conquered his country (South Vietnam).
Ford was President when South Vietnam fell to the communists (North Vietnam).
