Detailed explanation-1: -Vietnamization was a strategy that aimed to reduce American involvement in the Vietnam War by transferring all military responsibilities to South Vietnam. The increasingly unpopular war had created deep rifts in American society.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vietnamization was a policy of the Richard Nixon administration to end U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War through a program to “expand, equip, and train South Vietnamese forces and assign to them an ever-increasing combat role, at the same time steadily reducing the number of U.S. combat troops".
Detailed explanation-3: -How did vietnamization lead to the end of the war? Vietnamization led to the end of the war because, after the US removed their troops, North Vietnamese forces pushed through South Vietnam and took over cities until they finally ended the war at Saigon.
Detailed explanation-4: -Starting in 1970, Nixon began to implement the war strategy of Vietnamization, which was the strategic withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam in order to instead place the burden of the conflict on the South Vietnamese.
Detailed explanation-5: -Publicly, Nixon said his strategy was a combination of negotiating and Vietnamization. In fact, he began the withdrawals even before he issued his secret ultimatum to the Communists, and he continued to announce partial troop withdrawals throughout his first term.
