t. The great presidents That had controlled the vietnom war
The vietnom war had been created when the noth vietnamese wanted to take over the south vietnamese. Residents in the south vietnamese that helped the north were called the viet cong. Johnson was president during the time the vietnom war had started. Johnson had sent military supplies such as food, guns, amunition, and money. The north and the vietcong were still too strong for the south vietnamese. So then Johnson had decided to send in our military officers and army men.
After Johnson had thought he had lost it all he called in an airiol bombing to the north hoping it would stop the supplies reaching the vietcong.
When Johnson had retired and was not able to run for president after cheating election votes, Richerd M. Nixon had taken the throne. While Nixon was pres. he had bombed the north harder than when Johnson had bombed them.
From 1961 to 1975 500,000 Americans had died triing to serve justice into the hands of the inocent. In 1973 the U. S. A. had finally reached a ceasefire agreement with the North Vietnamese. As part of the agreement all U.S.A. troops left Vietnom. Gerald Ford was the closeing pres. of the VIETNOM WAR.
