a) Paris Peace Accords

The Paris Peace Accords, signed in 1973, formally ended the Vietnam War, marking a pivotal moment in U.S. foreign policy. The negotiations, involving the United States, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, and the Viet Cong, culminated in a ceasefire and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam. The accords represented a complex diplomatic achievement, albeit a contentious one, reflecting the challenges of ending a protracted and divisive conflict. The conclusion of the Vietnam War under these accords had significant implications for U.S. domestic politics and foreign policy, symbolizing the difficulties of military intervention and the complexities of peace negotiations in the context of Cold War geopolitics.
