Why and how did the US involvement end?

U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War effectively ended due to a combination of factors, including growing domestic opposition, shifting public opinion, and political pressure for withdrawal. The Paris Peace Accords in January 1973 facilitated a ceasefire and the withdrawal of American troops, marking a significant step toward ending U.S. military engagement. Despite continued support for the South Vietnamese government, the fall of Saigon in April 1975 ultimately signaled the complete end of U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

What were arguments for and against Australia's involvement in Vietnam war?

For: Many people at the time subscribed to the domino theory, that Communist dominance would spread from one Communist nation (such as North Vietnam) to neighbouring nations (such as South Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia) and that the chain would eventually result in Australia becoming a Communist dictatorship. At the time, the public were in general very fearful and hateful towards Communism. By fighting Communism in Vietnam, it was intended that North Vietnam's Communist military would be defeated before it could invade Australia. It strengthened Australia's alliance with the United States, another foreign party on South Vietnam's side of the war. Australia had a growing economy benefitting from increased trade with the US, and as a small country without much defence in case of invasion, could have the US intervene as 'repayment' for Australia helping them in the Vietnam War.It mirrors America's.


How did Walter cronkites proclamation that the Vietnam war was unwinnable affect politics?

Walter Cronkite's proclamation that the Vietnam War was unwinnable significantly shifted public opinion and political dynamics in the United States. As a trusted news anchor, his statement challenged the government's optimistic portrayal of the war, leading many Americans to question the administration's policies. This shift contributed to growing anti-war sentiment and pressure on political leaders to seek a resolution, ultimately influencing the decision to de-escalate U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Cronkite's comments underscored the impact of media on public perception and political discourse during that era.
