Question

9. Which of the following describes the North Vietnamese and Vietwar strategy?

Answer 1

C. Avoid defeat until the Americans gave up The Vietcong and the north Vietnamese knew that the Americans weren't used to ans couldn't handle the terrain and jungle weather in Vietnam and were therefore at a disadvantage. The Vietcong managed to hang in there until American troops were pulled out in 1975.

Answer 2

Correct answer:

C. Avoid defeat until the Americans gave up

While the United States held a tremendous advantage in funding and firepower, the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong held the advantage of fighting for goals they believed in and knowing how to hold their ground in Vietnamese territory. They did not have to gain a conclusive victory over the USA in its support of South Vietnam, only hold out until the American side determined the war was no longer worth what it cost in dollars and lives.
