Vietnam War ends with Saigon fall and U S withdrawal
The Vietnam conflict began with division in 1954 and U S backing of South Vietnam. A long war followed with negotiations in Paris, troop withdrawals under Nixon, and a 1975 evacuation as North Vietnamese forces captured Saigon. The war ended with Saigon’s surrender and a large number of missing service members.
