What was the current situation in Vietnam? What was the current situation at home? What was the current situation in terms of speculatioon from other countries (I'm guessing Russia?)? To what extent was 'protesting Americans' a reason for the American government to end the Vietnam war?

Context, define any key terms in the question, set up the debate, e.g. It is thought this is most important but there is debate.. then introduce your key factors and how they may interact. You should really have planned your essay before you start the introduction and therefore already have a good idea of your conclusion
