Abstract

 

By analysing Richard Nixon's writings and memoirs and using historical methods, this article presents Nixon's views about the war in Vietnam when he was the Vice President (1953-1969). The research results show that Nixon had a long time to approach, research and initially formulate ideas to resolve the Vietnam War: strengthen training and equipment for the Army of the Republic of Vietnam to achieve the ultimate goal of withdrawing all US combat troops from the territory of the Republic of Vietnam; cut off the path of manpower transportation, material resources of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam government in the territory of the Republic of Vietnam, and exploit the ability to mobilize possible diplomatic assistance from China and the Soviet Union.
