Question

Why did US withdraw war with Vietnam ?

Answer 1

heya,

By the time Nixon took office in 1968, the Vietnam War was very unpopular with the American people.  During the election, Nixon made vague promises about ending the and achieving "peace with honor" but was very short on specifics.

When he gained office he hoped to win the war by intimidation and then by a secret bombing campaign of North Vietnam and Cambodia.  Neither of these was effective.  He then came up with the idea, amid growing pressure to withdraw, of training the South Vietnamese to fight the war themselves.  The whole time he bombing North Vietnam and Laos, attempting to disrupt NVA supply lines to the Viet Cong (the Ho Chih Minh Trail) without much success.

When the draft ended in 1973, more troops were reduced.  Eventually the Paris Peace Accords were signed in 1973 which called for the withdraw of American troops from South Vietnam.
