Nixon ran on that ticket "getting out've Vietnam". He got elected, he got us out. There was no particular "cause" to leave Vietnam...it was accepted that it was an un-winnable war...unless the US went nuclear or invaded North Vietnam. If the US wasn't going to use nukes or invade...then leave. The US left.

The French Indochina War most likely led to the (so called) American Vietnam War. Because the French war divided up the country into TWO nations; North & South Vietnams. When the communist led North Vietnam attempted to take over (conquer) South Vietnam... this led to US involvment.
With the French withdrawal from Vietnam in 1954, it is unlikely that the newly sponsored government of the Republic of (South) Vietnam would have survived more than a few months against the well organized and experienced Viet Minh that was led by Ho Chi Minh. The new Saigon government in South Vietnam in 1954-55 was was totally dependent on the US Gov for financial and materiel support.
The NVA conducted conventional military offensive operations.
