South Vietnam was supported by the United States and other countries, while North Vietnam was backed by the Soviet Union and China.
Negotiations and the Paris Peace Accords
In 1968, U.S. President Richard Nixon began a process of negotiations with North Vietnam, which led to the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973. The Accords called for a ceasefire and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from South Vietnam. The Accords also provided for a two-year transition period before elections were to be held in both North and South Vietnam.

The war was a long and costly conflict that resulted in the death of millions of people and the displacement of millions more. The Paris Peace Accords of 1973 provided a framework for the end of the war, but it was the North Vietnamese forces that ultimately brought the conflict to an end.
