Question

Suppose a student is asked to write a research paper on the major events of the Vietnam War. Which question would best help the student to narrow his or her research?

Answer 1

What were the major outcomes of the Vietnam war? (Correct Answer)

Answer 2

The correct answer is "Why did the United States withdraw from Vietnam during the war?".

This question is key to understanding why Northern Vietnam was able to defeat Southern Vietnam during the war. It will let the student understand about the process of "Vietnamization", which meant the gradual retreat of US forces from the territory, while at the same time preparing local Vietnamese troops in order to continue the war.
