The Vietnam War
The Vietnam War was a conflict that lasted for more than two decades, with the United
States gradually increasing its involvement over time. President Lyndon B. Johnson was in office
during a pivotal escalation period in the early 1960s, and he decided to continue deepening
American involvement in the war. This ultimately led to hundreds of thousands of troops being
deployed, resulting in a significant loss of lives. President Richard Nixon, who succeeded
Johnson, took a different approach to the war and ultimately pulled most troops out of Vietnam.
