The Invasion of Cambodia
April of 1970
President Nixon, fearing loss of war, enacted a campaign in Cambodia to disrupt the supply lines of the Vietcong and also to destroy their bases: he believed that destroying these resources would end operations in South Vietnam; the plan was a disaster. The lack of success and loss of civilian lives started a strong opposition to the war back in the United States. It also resulted in the Kent State incident, an anti-war protest, which resulted in the death of 4 and injuries of 9.
