1973
Under Nixon we began the troop withdraw l, but the Fall of Siagon (1975), when we officially left completely, was under Ford.
The US is an industrialized based nation, whereas Vietnam is an agricultural nation.
The first Us ambassador to Vietnam after 1975 was Pete Peterson. He was appointed in 1997. For over 20 years since 1975, there was no US Ambassador to Vietnam.
In 1972, North Vietnam finally realized that the war was a stalemate. The two sides met and arranged a cease fire. In January of 1973 the Paris Accords went into effect. The US agreed to withdraw all its troops from Vietnam in 60 days. Congress had stopped funding the war effort. The North Vietnamese government agreed to release all prisoners, which they never did. Free elections were to be held in Vietnam. The President of South Vietnam considered the agreement between North Vietnam and the US as a sell out. But it allowed President Nixon to save face and bring the soldiers home. By 1975, after US troops had been pulled out of South Vietnam, the ARVN (Army of the Republic of South Vietnam) collapsed and the North Vietnamese moved into Saigon, ending the war and finalizing the take over of the South by the North. Our purpose in the war is debated to this day.
