VietnamizationSummaryThe people of the US were very unhappy with what was going on in Vietnam. As a result to try to clam people, Nixon started Vietnamization.

This was costed the US billions of dollars and thousands of lives.
Quote"Tonight I do not tell you that the war in Vietnam is the war to end wars. But I do say this: I have initiated a plan which will end this war in a way that will bring us closer to that great goal to which Woodrow Wilson and every American President in our history has been dedicated the goal of a just and lasting peace."
