They were also years of contrast. The American public was deeply divided -- many no longer wanted to fight the war, while others wanted to win it. It was a period in which the United States fought aggressively while seeking to end the conflict through talks held in Paris, France -- negotiations that were frequently as contentious as the battles in the field. In 1970 and 1971 the United States and its allies made progress in solidifying the security and viability of the Republic of Vietnam. Yet in no way was victory achieved, and in some respects South Vietnam would emerge more vulnerable than before. Finally, it was during these two years that the United States expanded the geographical extent of the conflict while curtailing its participation in it. The stress and confusion of the situation took its toll as soldiers tried to make sense of it all. 530 $a Also available via the World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $z Cambodia. 650 0 $a Operation Lam Son 719, 1971. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1961-1969. 651 0 $a Vietnam $x History $y 1945-1975. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 $a Vietnam. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204778 648 7 $a 1945-1975 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Maass, John R., $e author. 710 2 $a Center of Military History. 830 0 $a U.S. Army campaigns of the Vietnam War 830 0 $a CMH pub; $v 76-7. 941 $a 3 952 $l UPAX334 $d 20230104040529.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20191205011500.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20191018013028.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B53AB020F16C11E99671E53E97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
