Paris Peace Agreement (not to be confused with Paris Agreement on Climate)

The Paris Peace Agreement refers to the treaty signed in 1973 that officially ended active U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War. It was negotiated among the United States, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, and the Viet Cong. The agreement aimed to establish peace, cease hostilities, and lay out terms for troop withdrawals, while preserving Vietnam's territorial integrity. Although it marked a formal step toward ending the conflict, fighting continued after the treaty, and full peace was only achieved later. This agreement is a significant diplomatic milestone in Vietnam's history and U.S. foreign policy.
