Vietnam Peace Day
Every year on January 27th, Vietnam Peace Day commemorates the signing of the Paris Peace Accords. This event brought an end to America's involvement in the Vietnam War.
The United States was involved in the Vietnam War for eight long years. In 1965, the United States entered the war in the United States. However, the war in Vietnam began long before then. Tensions existed between communist North Vietnam and democratic South Vietnam in the mid-1950s. During this period, America's only contribution and military training to South Vietnam has been provided.
President John F. Kennedy expanded the military aid program in 1961. Lyndon B. Johnson, a 1963 student, became president. The first American combat troops entered Vietnam two years ago. There were 400,000 US troops serving in the Vietnam War by 1966, according to a report by the Vietnam War. This number has increased through the years, as has the number of people protesting the United States' involvement. President Johnson did not seek reelection due to backlash, not to backlash. Richard M. Nixon became President in November 1968. He promised to restore law and order, as well as ending the draft.
Over 58,000 military personnel had died by the time the United States pulled out of the war in 1973. About 75,000 American Vietnam vets were severely wounded, with many of them being severely wounded. People in this region also have strong opinions about the Vietnam War. Many believe that our country should not have been concerned. This is especially true since communist North Vietnam took over South Vietnam. In 1975, the communist takeover officially ended the war. Since then, North and South Vietnam have been known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
