Which of the following occurred after the Vietnam war spread into Vietnam but before Vietnam was united under a communist government?
A. Ho Chi Minh took leadership of the Vietcong.
B. Richard Nixon resigned from office after the Watergate scandal.
C. The Khmer Rouge group invaded Vietnam.
D. A ceasefire allowed U.S. troops to leave Vietnam. ***
I didn't think through my answer. You were right. The answer is D.
Sorry.
This is a very strange question. If the Vietnam war spread into Vietnam, where was it before? Canada? That war spread into other countries, but it was the VIETNAM war. And three of the four answers occurred BEFORE the North Vietnamese united the country under their communist system. The fourth never happened at all.
Very strange question indeed, it could have been on purpose to confuse the person answering, or it could have been on accident.
To identify the event that occurred after the Vietnam War spread into Vietnam but before Vietnam was united under a communist government, we need to analyze each option given:
A. Ho Chi Minh took leadership of the Vietcong. This is a possible event that occurred during the Vietnam War as Ho Chi Minh was a key figure in the Communist movement in Vietnam. However, this occurred before Vietnam was united under a communist government.
B. Richard Nixon resigned from office after the Watergate scandal. This event is unrelated to the Vietnam War and does not fit the timeline requirements mentioned in the question.
C. The Khmer Rouge group invaded Vietnam. The Khmer Rouge was a communist group that came to power in Cambodia after the Vietnam War. However, this invasion occurred after Vietnam was united under a communist government.
D. A cease-fire allowed U.S. troops to leave Vietnam. This event is the most fitting answer because it occurred after the Vietnam War and before Vietnam was united under a communist government. The cease-fire allowed for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. A cease-fire allowed U.S. troops to leave Vietnam.
