Question

In 3–5 sentences, describe the purpose of the Vietnamization policy.

Answer 1

The Vietnamization policy was designed to shift the burden of fighting the Vietnam War from American troops to the South Vietnamese army. The aim was to reduce American involvement in the war and make the South Vietnamese more self-sufficient and independent in their ability to defend themselves. This policy was implemented by President Nixon in an effort to gradually withdraw American forces from Vietnam and end the war.
