What city did the US surrender to end the involvement in the war?

The U.S. surrendered in the Vietnam War with the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, was captured by North Vietnamese forces, marking the end of the conflict and leading to the reunification of Vietnam under communist control. This event effectively concluded the U.S. military involvement in Vietnam.


What major war events happened between 1970 and 1980?

Four war events that I consider major are 1) the continuation of US involvement in Vietnam from 1970 to 1975, 2) the Yom Kippur War of 1973 in which Israel fought Egypt and Syria, 3) The Lebanese Civil War which began in 1975 and lasted through 1980 and beyond, and 4) the beginning of the Soviet-Afghan War in 1980. There were many other conflicts between 1970 and 1980, some of them tied in with the Cold War and some not, but I regard these as minor instead of major. Almost forgot.....5) The Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, one of several wars fought between India and Pakistan.
