Answer:

The answer is B, as the statement is false. Two years after the Vietnam War ended, North Vietnam took control of the South.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Vietnam War (1955-1975) was a war in Vietnam that led to the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

American intervention began in 1964, when the United States Congress authorized President Lyndon Johnson to send troops to Vietnam. The impulse was the Gulf of Tonking incident, in which Johnson claimed that a US ship had been shot.

Between 1964 and 1973, North and South Vietnamese guerrillas supported by the Communist bloc and the United States fought together with their allies. It ended with a four-party peace treaty in 1973, but the whole war ended two years later, with the unification of Vietnam under a Communist regime.
