US History – 1945 to Present
Vietnamization was a U.S. policy aimed at reducing American involvement in the Vietnam War by transferring combat responsibilities to South Vietnamese forces. This strategy was introduced by President Richard Nixon in 1969 and sought to build up the South Vietnamese military while gradually withdrawing U.S. troops, reflecting both a response to domestic pressure for de-escalation and the need to maintain U.S. credibility in the region.
