  • 2. 

    He founded the Viet Minh which eventually took over North Korea after WW2 was over.

    • True, he did

    • False, he did not.

    Correct Answer
    A. True, he did
    Explanation
    The statement is incorrect. The Viet Minh, led by Ho Chi Minh, was a nationalist and communist organization in Vietnam that fought for independence from French colonial rule. It did not take over North Korea after World War II. North Korea, on the other hand, was under Soviet Union influence and eventually became a communist state led by Kim Il-sung.

    The USA went to war with North Vietnam in order to defeat Ho Chi Minh and Communism

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During the Vietnam War, the United States did indeed go to war with North Vietnam with the intention of defeating Ho Chi Minh and the spread of communism. The US believed that by intervening in Vietnam, they could prevent the domino effect of communism spreading throughout Southeast Asia. The conflict lasted for several years and resulted in significant loss of life and resources for both sides. Ultimately, the US was unable to achieve its objective, and North Vietnam remained under communist control.

    Ho Chi Minh was the Republican Leader of South Korea. 

    • True, he was this kind of leader

    • False, he was the communist leader of North Korea

    Correct Answer
    A. False, he was the communist leader of North Korea
    Explanation
    Ho Chi Minh was not the leader of South Korea, but rather the leader of North Vietnam. He was a key figure in the communist movement and played a significant role in the Vietnamese struggle for independence from French colonial rule. Therefore, the statement that he was the communist leader of North Korea is correct.

    In The Lake of The Woods is historically accurate

    • True, very much

    • False, not at all

    Correct Answer
    A. True, very much
    Explanation
    The statement "In The Lake of The Woods is historically accurate" is true. The novel by Tim O'Brien is known for its meticulous research and attention to detail in depicting historical events. It explores the Vietnam War and the political climate of the 1960s, incorporating real-life incidents and figures. O'Brien's portrayal of the war and its aftermath is widely regarded as accurate and authentic, making the novel a valuable resource for understanding the historical context of that time period.

    • False, he died just before the massacre

    Ho Chi Minh was outraged about what Charlie Company did in the hamlet of My Lai. 

    • True, he then planned a series of aggressive attacks against South Korea

    • False, he wasn't even alive

    Correct Answer
    A. False, he wasn't even alive
    Explanation
    The statement is false because Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese revolutionary leader, was not alive during the time of the My Lai massacre. The My Lai massacre occurred in 1968 during the Vietnam War, while Ho Chi Minh died in 1969. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that he planned a series of aggressive attacks against South Korea in response to the My Lai incident.
