    Australia joined the Vietnam War to fight with Britain

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Australia joined the Vietnam War to fight with the United States, not Britain. Australia's involvement in the war was primarily due to its commitment to the ANZUS Treaty, a defense alliance with the United States and New Zealand. The Australian government believed that supporting the United States in Vietnam was necessary to maintain the alliance and prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. Therefore, the statement that Australia joined the Vietnam War to fight with Britain is incorrect.

    The Vietnam War took place from 1955 to 1975. If somebody is currently 60 years old, it means they were born in 1960. Therefore, they would have been alive during the Vietnam War, which started when they were 5 years old and ended when they were 15 years old. Hence, the statement is true.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During the Vietnam War, the northern parts of Vietnam were indeed controlled by the Viet Cong. The Viet Cong, also known as the National Liberation Front, was a communist guerrilla force that fought against the South Vietnamese government and its allies, including the United States. They aimed to reunify Vietnam under communist rule. The northern parts of Vietnam, which included Hanoi, were under the control of the communist government led by Ho Chi Minh. Therefore, the statement "The northern parts of Vietnam were controlled by the Viet Cong" is true.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Australia did not fight on the side of the Viet Cong. In fact, Australia fought alongside the United States and other allies as part of the anti-communist coalition during the Vietnam War. Australian troops were sent to Vietnam to support South Vietnam in their fight against the communist forces of North Vietnam, including the Viet Cong. Therefore, the statement that Australia fought on the side of the Viet Cong is false.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Vietnam is not located in northern Asia. It is actually located in Southeast Asia. Northern Asia refers to countries like Russia, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan, which are geographically separate from Vietnam. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    China supported the Viet Minh

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    China did not support the Viet Minh. The Viet Minh was a Vietnamese independence movement that fought against French colonial rule. While China did provide some limited support to the Viet Minh during their struggle against the Japanese occupation in World War II, China did not actively support the Viet Minh in their fight against the French. In fact, China had its own political agenda and was more focused on its own domestic issues at the time. Therefore, the statement is false.
