April 30th
President Nixon announces that he has ordered more than 50,000 troops to invade Cambodia and destroy bases used by the communists in attacking South Vietnam. Nixon promises that the troops will advance no more than 20 miles into Cambodia and that they will be quickly withdrawn. Although he says he is not seeking to widen the Vietnam War, many Americans interpret his actions as doing so, and the invasion touches off numerous antiwar protests.
