Harold Wilson, the UK Prime Minister, sought to end the Vietnam War by engaging the Soviet Union in peace talks.

Wilson's political career included significant reforms in the UK, and his diplomatic endeavors in 1966 were notable, though peace was only achieved years later with the Paris Peace Accords.
