First sentence: The American involvement in Vietnam, which began in earnest in 1954 after the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu and lasted until the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973, is widely regarded as an example of a major foreign policy that despite the best of intentions and efforts contravened American interests rather than serving them.
