Nixon begins his presidency by turning over more of the war to the Vietnamese so the U.S. can withdraw troops and undermine anti-war rhetoric. While there is a visible attempt to set up negotiations, Kissinger is engaged in private diplomacy. By the end of his first year in office Nixon and Kissinger put into action a different strategy, bombing bases in Cambodia thought to be sources of North Vietnam attacks. Incursions into Laos and Cambodia dislocate refugees and political structures and allow the Khmer Rouge to come to power. These bombing raids reignite anti-war protests. Four college students are killed when the National Guard opens fire on demonstrators at Kent State University; two black students are killed in a similar protest at Jackson State.
