The Vietnam War

In the spring of 1954. an international conference to settle the Indochina conflict began in Geneva, Switzerland. There, representatives of the French and Viet minth attempted to map out Indochina's future. The People's Republic of China (Communist China), The United States, Great Britan, the Soviet Union, Laos and Cambodia joined the discussion.

Part of Nixon's end-the-war plan was called Vietnamization. At worst, it would delay a collapse long enough to spare America the humiliation of outright defeat. miletary aid, and the creation of a new government in South Vietnam that included Nguyen (en-gy-EN) Van Thieu (the current president), representatives of the NLF, and "neutrals. The administration found itself critized by both doves-people who opposed the war- and hawks-people who supported the war's goals. It involved turning over the fighting to the South Vietnamese as U. Enemy rockets and mortars could-and did strike anywhere.
