Vietnam affected FIVE U.S. presidents. President Eisenhower, who was familiar with Vietnam when the French were fighting there until 1954, warned President Kennedy to not let it fall to the communists (the domino theory). In 1961 (or 1962) Kennedy sent the Special Forces (Green Beret) to Vietnam. When President Kennedy was shot, Vice President Johnson took over. In 1965 Johnson sent REGULAR combat troops to Vietnam (US Marines and the US Army). Vietnam destroyed President Johnson; on nation wide TV he announced that he would NOT run for president of the United States AND that he would NOT accept nomination to run. His health was ruined, his outlook on life was no longer positive. In 1968, President Nixon promised he would end the war in Vietnam and he was elected on that ticket. By 1972 most of the US ground troops had been pulled out. Air power remained until (officially) 1973. The North made one final and massive assault in 1975, which collapsed the South, the North had one the war; but by then the "Watergate" scandle had taken President Nixon, and President Ford had to finish the war.

Richard Nixon was the American president between 1969 and 1972. He served as the 37th president of the United States before resigning in 1974 due to the Watergate scandal.
During his presidency in 1972, President Nixon opened up a new line of communication with China by visiting the country. It was this action on his part that helped to end the United States involvement in the Vietnam War in 1973.

The US and N.Vietnam agreed to a peace plan, but S. Vietnam rejected it, so it did not go through
False. In January 1969, shortly after Nixon's inauguration there was 543, 300 troops stationed in Vietnam, by the end of that year the American force level fell to 475, 200, and by 1972 there were only 24,000 (The Tragedy of Vietnam). Do the math, that's hardly a few thousand.
Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were Presidents during American involvement. The conflict lasted from 1954 to 1976, with the US being involved from 1964 to 1972. The Presidents during this period were: Dwight Eisenhower (1953-61) John Kennedy (1961-3) Lyndon Johnson (1963-9) Escalated the war Richard Nixon (1969-74) Withdrew American forces Gerald Ford (1974-7)

Richard Nixon, in 1972.
In July of 1969 President Nixon threatened to restart bombing if peace talks didn't resume between North and South Vietnam. Peace talks finally did resume in April of 1972.
In 1972, President Nixon ordered the bombing campaign known as Operation Linebacker, which targeted North Vietnam to disrupt supply lines and infrastructure during the Vietnam War. Additionally, he authorized the mining of Haiphong Harbor to hinder North Vietnamese shipping and logistics, escalating U.S. military involvement in the conflict as peace talks were ongoing. These actions aimed to exert pressure on North Vietnam and strengthen the U.S. negotiating position.
