Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon both sought ways to extricate the United States from the Vietnam War, though their approaches differed. Johnson escalated U.S. involvement initially, but by the late 1960s, he recognized the need for a strategy to de-escalate the conflict amid growing domestic opposition. Nixon introduced the policy of "Vietnamization," aiming to shift the responsibility for the war to South Vietnamese forces while gradually withdrawing American troops. Both presidents faced significant challenges in balancing military objectives with public pressure for peace.

The UK Prime Minister who refused to send troops to Vietnam in the 1960s was Harold Wilson.

Wilson's decision was influenced by the growing anti-war sentiment in the UK and a desire to maintain a degree of independence in foreign policy.
