What was Nixon's plan to end Vietnam?

Answer 1

Nixon had been elected on a promise to Vietnamize the war, meaning more fighting would be turned over to the South Vietnamese army, and to start bringing home American troops. When the President ordered US troops into Cambodia and ordered more bombings, the result was a tremendous uproar at home with more marches and demonstrations. Congress reacted to the antiwar feeling and repealed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which gave the President the authority to send troops and fight the war in Vietnam. The United States did not lose the Vietnam War. Although some may argue that by pulling out of South Vietnam we did just that.

Answer 2

Nixon wanted to scare the North Vietnamese into believing that he would do anything to win the war, incuding the use of nuclear weapons.

Answer 3

B-52 the North back to the negotiation table; get our POW's back, and then leave with honor.

Answer 4

training and supplying the South Vietnamese to take over full responsibility for the war
