Richard Nixon promised the nation 'peace with honor' in Vietnam. He increased the size of the war considerably by (completely illegal) bombing in Cambodia without the approval of Congress. He approved large-scale bombing raids against the major cities of North Vietnam. His Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, reached a peace deal with the leaders of North Vietnam and America troops were pulled out of Southeast Asia.

About 25,000 American servicemen and women were killed in Vietnam and Cambodia during the Nixon years.
