Henry Kissinger
From the Student Workbook


 * Henry Kissinger** was the **American Secretary of the State** and he played a huge part in **President Nixon's** plans for **Vietnamization (1969).** **Vietnamization** was the presidents plan to make sure the South Vietnam army could defend itself and then he could pull all the United States troops out of the country.

Kissinger came up with a plan called **The Two Track Formula**. It was the basis of Nixon's plan over the following four years. It had two parts;
 * Military Solution,** which consisted of strengthening the South Vietnamese army and **Political Solution,** which was to strengthen the South Vietnamese government so that it could gain more support from the South Vietnam civilians.

He was also involved with the peace settlement between Israel and Egypt after the **Yom Kippur Wars** in 1973 alongside President Carter. These were called the **Camp David Accords** and they had the following points: -They agreed not to make war -They agreed to negotiate the refugee problem -Israel could use the Suez Canal -Israel would get their oil supply from Egypt
