Solution

America withdrew from Vietnam in 1975 because it failed to achieve a military victory and faced rising domestic opposition to the war. The cost in lives and resources became too high, and the Vietnamese guerrilla tactics proved difficult to defeat. Moreover, the war became deeply unpopular in the United States, leading to protests and political pressure. The U.S. signed the Paris Peace Accord in 1973, and by 1975, the North Vietnamese forces captured Saigon, marking the end of American involvement in Vietnam.
