Question

Nixon thought that South Vietnam was strong enough to resist a communist takeover, even if American forces were pulled out.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

During the presidential campaign, Nixon constantly insisted that he had a plan to end the war. This, of course, was a "political hyperbole," since the candidate from the Republican Party had only a general, far from concretized, scheme of actions in the declared direction. Their essence was to weaken the enemy, increase the combat effectiveness of the Special Forces and the beginning of the phased withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam. The first concrete plan appeared at the White House four months after it was taken by Nixon and the Republican administration. Nixon promoted a strategy of "Vietnamization" - the gradual replacement of the US military in the conflict zone by the army of South Vietnam.
