Who did Nixon inherited the Vietnam problems from?

Nixon inherited the Vietnam problems from his predecessor, President Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson escalated U.S. involvement in Vietnam through the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and increased troop deployments, leading to widespread anti-war sentiments. By the time Nixon took office in January 1969, the conflict was deeply entrenched, and he faced the challenge of navigating the U.S. withdrawal while managing domestic opposition and international repercussions.
