Question 2

The question is about the route through which arms and men from North Vietnam entered South Vietnam, passing through Laos. The correct term is the Ho Chi Minh Trail, a network used to supply the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces during the Vietnam War.

In 1955, after the Geneva Accords partitioned Vietnam, Ngo Dinh Diem became the president of the newly formed Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam). He was a key figure in the early years of South Vietnam's existence.

A war fought by third - party substitutes for opposing superpowers is defined as a proxy war. In proxy wars, the superpowers support local groups or other nations instead of directly engaging in combat with each other.

Answer:

Ho Chi Minh Trail
