Answer 2

America withdraw from the Vietnam War because of the following reasons:

• Equipped with modern weaponry and the latest technology, Americans killed thousands of civilians. Chemical weapons were also used against them. Soon, the intensity and prolongation of war created strong reactions in USA against its

participation in the war against Vietnam.

• Because Vietnamese were able to resist the American attacks, it became clear that the Vietnamese resistance had not been crushed and the American government failed to

win the support of the local Vietnamese.

• People began to be moved by the fact that in the war not only several young Americans soldiers died but also thousands of innocent civilians lost their lives.

• As horrific battle scenes began to be showed on television, many became disillusioned with America’s policies and began to question the government.

• Noam Chomsky called the war in Vietnam the ‘greatest threat to peace, to national self-determination and to international cooperation’.

America finally decided to withdraw from the Vietnam War after severe criticisms of its Vietnam policies nationally and internationally.
