thing.

because Vietnamization was supposed to be a solution but it had flaws like any plan. The
American public had no longer wanted to be involved in this war.

the war, who protested, and why they protested for. This helped me with my project
because the conflict was not only occurring in Vietnam but in the U.S. as well, the
