Summary, etc. In the 1960s, Australia's commitment to collective security and its grand strategy of forward defense spurred its intervention in Vietnam. As British and American allies signaled retreat from Southeast Asia in 1968-1969, Prime Minister John Gorton sought to encourage U.S. resolve by keeping Australia forces there. With more American soldiers coming home under the guise of Vietnamization, the Australian public increasingly demanded troop withdrawals. The political facts of life became paramount, with Gorton's government buckling in 1970. This article explains the military, strategic, diplomatic, and political considerations that produced Canberra's decision to begin troop reductions in Vietnam.
