With diplomatic agreements in place (referred to publicly as "peace with honor"), the US summarily abandoned South Vietnam and the country was taken over by the communist government of North Vietnam.
AnswerPresident Richard Nixon ended the war with dialogue first with the Chinese, who probably put strong pressure on the leaders of North Vietnam. Then the US and the North held talks in Paris, culminating with the Paris Peace Accords of 1973. Two years later, all American troops had been withdrawn and the South was overrun. On April 29, 1975, the last Americans flew out of Saigon and the city was captured the following day. Nixon had resigned from office in 1974, and Congress would not approve funds for any continued military activities.As many as 2 million Vietnamese fled the country, and by 1979 more than 500,000 were admitted to the United States as political refugees.
