The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The reason for the United States of America's departure from Vietnam in 1973 was that President's Nixon administration was already under heavy scrutiny and criticism for maintaining the United States troops installed in South Vietnam.
After very difficult moments such as teh Tet Offensive, the American society in general, and the young Americans in particular, started to seriously question the participation of the United States Army in the Vietnam War, concluding that was not a US war. They started to demand the withdrawal of the US troops from Vietnam and organized many protests and marches to demand action on the part of the federal government.
Finally, in January 1973, a peace agreement was signed and the US started to withdraw its troops. The process lasted until March 29, 1973.
However, the United States contib¿nued to support
South Vietnam, applying the foreign policy of containment to impede the spread of Communist over South Vietnam.
This is an interesting question and something military historians have been trying to answer since more than a 100 years.
Enfield rifles were used by the British Army in the mid 19th Century and most of them used grease made of animal lard.
The East Indian company had conscripted an Army of locals within India. These were made up of mostly Hindu and some Muslims men.
Rumors began to circulate that the grease of made of cow or pig lard. This was highly offensive to Hindus and Muslims alike, since Hindus considered the Cow to be their god and Muslims considered pig to be unclean.
To how large of an extent did this play in turning into the 1857 Rebellion is arguable, however, it did inflame tensions between the occupied and the occupiers.
