a. TRUE
b. FALSE

Answer 1

True.

In April 1975, the North Vietnamese Army launched a major offensive against South Vietnam. This quickly brought down the South Vietnamese government and military forces. By April 30, 1975, North Vietnamese forces had taken over Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, and forced the last South Vietnamese officials and the American embassy to leave the country. This event ended the Vietnam War and brought Vietnam back together under communist rule. The Fall of Saigon, as it is often called, was a big event in the history of the Vietnam War. It had big effects on both the US and Vietnam.
