the Paris Peace Accord

The Paris Peace Accords, signed in 1973, was a treaty that aimed to end the Vietnam War. It involved the United States, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, and other parties. The agreement called for U.S. troop withdrawals, a ceasefire, and the release of prisoners. It also sought to establish peace and a framework for political stability in Vietnam. While it reduced direct U.S. involvement, the conflict between North and South Vietnam continued afterward, ultimately leading to the reunification of Vietnam in 1975. The accords are seen as a major step toward ending U.S. military engagement in Vietnam.
