Sequence in U.S. Foreign Policy from 1899 to the Present

The Paris Peace Accords ended America’s direct involvement in the Vietnam War in 1973. The peace process provided for a ceasefire between North and South Vietnam and the removal of all American military personnel from Vietnamese territory. It was the work of several years of diplomatic maneuvering by Henry Kissinger, United States National Security Advisor, and his Vietnamese counterpart. The Paris Peace Accords were signed during the Presidency of Richard Nixon.
